SSE wind with light high cloud cover.
I spent a couple of hours or so seawatching at Skogsøy, there was plenty of movement without anything spectacular to report. The main species were Red-throated Diver smålom and plenty of various gulls - most notably Lesser Black-backed Gulls sildemåke. Various duck and wader species added to the variety.
Well over 600 birds headed south between 0800 and 10:30:
Red throated Diver smålom S 127
Northern Gannet havsule S 69
Great Cormorant storskarv N 1
Great Cormorant storskarv S 67

A rather pale bird giving a rather graellsi impression
A more normal LBBG sildemåke coming into winter plumage
This bird with its clean white head and all black back invites thoughts of fuscus
Ringed Plover sandlo
Twite bergirisk
Wigeon brunnakke
Other than seabirds a Kestrel tårnfalk put in an appearance as did White-tailed Eagle havørn, Wheatear steinskvett, Bramlings bjørkefink and five Common Crossbill grankorsnebb and a small flock of Twite bergirisk were among the other species seen
