Southerly winds again, some very heavy shows, light drizzle and some clear periods.
A walk around Herdlevær with one of my daughters tested our rain gear. Mine failed, hers didn't:)
Very similar to recent visits in most respects, plenty of birds about and a good passage of gulls very close in, once again with good numbers of Lesser Black-backed Gulls sildemåke. Red-throated Diver smålom, Cormorants storskarv and other species also headed south.
A Peregrine vandrefalk, a Sparrowhawk spurvehauk and two White-tailed Eagle havørn were the raptors seen today.
Wader numbers are typically reducing but Golden Plover heilo and Dunlin myrsnipe were both still present - the latter giving some nice photo opportunities.
Passerines included the usual four species of thrush, 40+ Brambling bjørkefink, a female Blackcap munk and a Chiff-chaff gransanger.
Back home I had a reasonable selection of species in/from the garden including Goldcrest fuglekonge, Jay nøtteskrike and a Guillemot lomvi on the sea again.
