Southerly winds, low cloud and rain at times.
I tried something different today. Two hours at Sæle gave lots of birds without anything very exciting. Sæle is a place that looks like it should pull in migrants and rarities better than anywhere else in Øygarden with its mix of hedgerows, gardens and farmland. There is perhaps just too much habitat and birds can just disappear in there.
There were masses of thrushes and finches, at least 10 Blackcap munk, a Chiff-chaff gransanger, Skylark sanglerke, Goldfinch stillits and plenty more besides but nothing that had me reaching for the camera.
Next up was a short walk at Breivik which was essentially more of the same. Very nice birding and with a feeling that there was a lot going on without any actual results.
On my way home I stopped at Tjeldstø where a Grey-headed Woodpecker gråspett was the highlight and 26 Golden Plover heilo came in to land.
