Sunny with light Southerly.
For the most part a typical mid August day - a Spotted Redshank sotsnipe, a Greenshank gluttsnipe, a Wood Sandpiper grønnstilk, a Green Sandpiper skogsnipe, five Ruff brushane, five Golden Plover heilo, an Oystercatcher tjeld, four Lapwing vipe and a Common Snipe enkeltbekkasin all in the reserve.

Rather unusually a female Scaup bergand was also in the reserve - a very strange time for this species to occur -in fact this may even be the first August record. It was also the first this year for Øygarden.
