Tjeldstø and Nautnes 08-12 Janury 2023 - Away

Milder weather with a slow thaw going on.

On 08 January there were at least 10 Blackbirds svarttrost and 3 Robins rødstrupe in my garden - a sure sign that times are tough in the surrounding woods. An Oystercatcher tjeld fed on the shore and a female Bullfinch dompap turned up too.

A quick look at Tjeldstø produced a flock of six Greylags grågås and a Rock Pipit skjærpiplerke as new for the year. Woodcock rugde still hanging on there and a Collared Dove tyrkerdue even sang!

A Nuthatch spettmeis at Sæle was another new for the year.

I was away with work related stuff most of the week and the only other sighting of note were two male Bullfinch dompap in the garden on 12 Janauery.
