Herdlevær 29 January 2013 - First local rarity of the year

Southerly winds, rain and mild


Great-crested Grebe toppdykker at Herdlevær



Not actually out today as such - but a  quick trip to run some errands produced a nice Great-crested Grebe toppdykker at Herdlevær. Although two were recorded in Øygarden in 2012 the previous record was back in 2005 so this is a decent find.

A Starling stær in the garden and a flock of about a dozen Filedfare gråtrost at Breivik were further indications that the change in the weather has brought about some movement.
