Skogsøy 05 May 2009 - At last!

Record shot of the first White-billed Diver gulnebblom of the year

Carrion Crow svartkråke at Tjeldstø. Can rarities possibily be less interesting than this one?

A late 'n' lazy trip to Skogsøy today - little passing but what did pass was excellent. Best bird was the first White-billed Diver gulnebblom of the year. Two fantastic Pomarine Skua polarjo were close runners-up and a dark phase Arctic Skua tyvjo was yet another first for the year.



The only other bird of note at Skogsøy was a singing Lesser Whitethroat møller.


Back at Tjeldstø a Carrion Crow svartkråke was the first I've had this year.
