Yet another calm and sunny day, light easterly winds and some frost on the ground.
Probably the best bird of the day was seen on the walk out in the form of a Short-eared Owl jordugle, amazingly this seems to be the first for Øygarden this year. A couple of Sparrowhawk spurvehauk chased a Great Spotted Woodpecker flaggpett and a lone Waxwing sidensvans flew over.
A couple of hours behind the scope showed there was a lot moving but most of it was very distant - mostly auks but some seaduck too.
Birds that I actually mananged to identify were:
Little Auk alkekonge 74 S, 5 N
Guillemot lomvi 1 N
Razorbill alke 1 S
Merganser siland 9 S
Common Scoter svartand 53 S
Eider ærfugl 11 N
Long-tailed Duck havelle 6 S
Red-throated Diver smålom 7 S
Great Northern Diver islom 1 S
Cormorant storskarv 8 S
Gannet havsule 5 S
Common Gull fiskemåke 4 S
A couple of Kittiwake krykkje fed offshore as did a school of Tuna makrellstørje which hammered what I presume were mackerell on the surface.
