A couple of weeks offshore in the southern Norwegian sector.
Didn't even get outside for the first few days and very little time spent on deck in general.
I first made it outside on 07 September not far from Knarr, a Wheatear steinskvett, a Common Redstart rødstjert and a Kestrel tårnfalk all showed up. This proved to be the best day for migrants onboard for the entire trip.
The next day near Snorre A several Wheatear steinskvett, a White Wagtail linerle and another passerine that evaded identification were onboard.
The next several days were spent close to various Gullfaks platforms - no migrants but at times good numbers of seabirds. On 12 September a pod of Pilot Whales grindhval gave some good views.
Towards the end of the trip Minke Whales vågehval were seen a few times and a Convolvulus Hawk Moth rested on the helideck for most of the day on 16 September.
