Overcast with cold southerly winds. The thaw continues but very slowly with temperatures hovering just above freezing.
A quick look at Dåvøy produced two Slavonian Grebes (Horned Grebe these days I suppose) horndykker - a nice surprise and the first of the year in Øygarden. Also present were at least four Common Snipe enkeltbekkasin and a Rock Pipit skjærpiplerke.
An adult White-tailed Eagle havørn had obviously torn something apart on the shore - chunks of meat were spread all over. Looked like it might once have been a bird of some kind.
A slight increase in the Heron gråhegre roost there - now 19 birds present.

Many Herring Gulls gråmåke are well on the way to summer plumage - starting to look clean and smart
