Brisk northerly and sunny.
Took things rather easier today - a lunchtime seawatch from Herdlevær produced well around 400 pale-bellied Brent Geese ringgås en route to Svalbard. Little else passing - just a couple of Great Skua storjo, small numbers of Red-throated Diver smålom, four Velvet Scoter sjøorre and most of the usual suspects.
At Tjeldstø just one Barnacle Goose hvitkinngås remained - more than likely that a bird seen heading south past Skogsøy earlier in the day was the other bird from Tjeldstø. Cuckoo gjøk heard again as well as Lesser Whitethroat møller.
