Relatively light NW winds and sunny.
I headed out to Skogsøy and spent an hour sewatching - unsurprisingly rather quiet but a Razorbill alke heading south was new for the year as were a few Kittiwake krykkje. A single Gannet havsule headed south. The only noticeable migration were several pairs of GBBG svartbak heading north.
A walk at Breivik was also rather quiet but eight Tree Sparrow pilfink were the first I've seen in Øygarden this year and a flock of six Parrot Crossbill furukorsnebb were busy with pine cones. A flock of four Curlew storspove fed in the fields here too.
One of the better birds seen today was a Woodcock rugde at Nautnes as I set off for the morning. Good to see so many have survived the two cold spells we have had thus far this winter. Fingers crossed for a continued period of mild weather:)
