Øygarden 29 January 2023 - Two out of three ain't bad

 Wet and windy. Not as bad as the weather forecast or media would have it but still not too pleasant. 

Did a few short visits to various places. My three targets today were:

1) Find some gulls (failed almost totally)

2) See the Rook kornkråke that has been seen the last couple of days (only took a few minutes)

3) Find a Snipe enkeltbekkasin (success at the first attempt)

Apart from these just a small flock of Starling stær at Tjeldstø, a Long-tailed Duck havelle at Oen and just small numbers of the usual suspects elsewhere including White-tailed Eagles havørn at Alvheim and from my terrace.

This house has been painted since I was last down at Alvheim - this picture really doesn't do it justce - these monster sized hoodies seemed to be in 3D and popped out of the wall.

Not many people decorate their house with Hooded Crow!
