A pre-breakfast drive-by at a few locations on 04 May produced a Greenshank gluttsnipe at Tjeldstø along with the usual wader species.
A flock of 15 Golden Plover heilo fed with Lapwing vipe at Breivik.
At Kollsnes I managed to read a colour-ringed Lesser Black-backed Gull sildemåke which was interesting. The bird was ringed as a chick on Fedje (just north of Øygarden) back in 2013 and since then the only sighting reported was from Portugal in 2018 before it showed up here:)
Two Wryneck vendehals singing on the way home today.
From the terrace displaying Common Sandpipers strandsnipe, Otter and the usual.
In the afternoon I had to make a shop run and a very slight detour gave me my first local Hawfinch kjernebiter of the year.
On Thursday 06 May I spent the morning on Hernar. It was quite a productive morning despite many migrants still not showing. My first Ring Ousel ringtrost of the year turned up along with some other migrants including a couple of Goldfinch stillits, some Whimbrel småspove dropped in, a Skylark sanglerke flew over (late for this species to be migrating). Strangely I saw no Robins rødstrupe and no Wrens gjerdesmett....Around 45 species present meant that it must have been a reasonable day:)
I returned home to see the first Common Tern makrellterne of the year fly past the terrace:)
