Breivik and Skogsøy 21-22 May 2022 - Skogsøy disappoints

 Sunny and calm on 21 May. Took the opportunity to get some stuff done and made only a brief foray out.

At Breivik a singing Icterine Warbler gulsanger was the highlight. Similar to yesterday's bird it was singing at half notch rather than the usual full on song of birds on breeding territory. It did, however, give some brief views. 

Also at Breivik two Carrion Crows svartkråke with another at Tjeldstø.

On 22 May with slightly more wind from the south I gave Skogsøy a go. Very little passed indeed so I gave up and went home. Highlight were three Shelduck gravand heading north and nice views of a rather pale White-tailed Eagle havørn.

A small flock of Golden Plover heilo were present at Breivik on the way home.

Great work Mr & Mrs Starling! Just forage more IN my garden than anywhere else and we will all be happy:)
