Southerly winds, still cold.
A couple of short walks with the dogs and the usual household errands produced some quality birds in a short space of time in the failing light of the afternoon.
Best bird was probably a Water Rail vannrikse at Alvheim where there were also around 15 Parrot Crossbill furukorsnebb.
At Solberg three Wigeon brunnakke were a surprise find - must be being forced out to the coast in the freezing weather. A Woodcock rugde was seen briefly here too.
Tjeldstø produced more very fresh Woodcock rugde tracks, a Goshawk hønsehauk mobbing a White-tailed Eagle havørn. Blackbird svarttrost numbers in the garden continue to increase with seven now present - all but one of which appear to be adult males.

Above and below Water Rail vannriske - always great to see this species
