Herdlevær 18 May 2023 - Finally home again!

 A late and lazy stroll. Good to be home again:=

A couple of flocks of Barnacle Geese hvitkinngås headed north in the twenty minutes I stopped for a coffee. 

Song Thrush måltrost at Herdlevær

Common Sandpiper strandsnipe now "everywhere" as are Goldfinch stillits - one of the few species that have "moved in" on Øygarden and are actually increasing in number in stark contrast to many / most other species.

A male Wigeon brunnakke on Husvatnet was the first I have seen locally this year (!), other new species included Lesser Whitethroat møller (various places). 

A pair of Tufted Duck toppand now present at Tjeldstø - can't be long before they actually breed there.
