Woods at HjelmeAn hours stroll in the superb winter sunshine produced excellent results. A Woodcock rugde flushed in the woods was the first noteworthy bird followed by a flock of 90 Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt (same flock as yesterday - just seen better).
Best birds were the spring's first Red-throated Diver smålom which came in from the south and landed on the sea and a Red-necked Grebe gråstrupedykker that was starting to acquire a red neck. Other birds included a minimum of four White-tailed Eagle havørn and at least 160 Long-tailed Duck havelle.
On the way back a Goshawk hønsehauk in the woods was a bonus bird in addition to the usual Goldcrests fuglekonge, Crested Tits toppmeis etc.
