Tjeldstø 20 November

Otter
Above and below juvenile Scaup bergand


The juvenile Scaup bergand was still on Rotevatnet today. Dreadful viewing conditions (very dull, snow / sleet / hail) and the fact that it keeps its distance don't help.
Whilst watching this bird an Otter turned up at quite close range - often the case that I see these animals when the weather is at its worst....
A Skylark sanglerke, a flock of 30 Starling stær and a Little Auk alkekonge were the only other birds of note.
