Breivik and Tjeldstø 16 March 2013 - Spring!

Relatively mild after overnight snow.


Part of the Lapwing vipe flock at Breivik



Some real signs of spring today with 22 Lapwing vipe at Breivik, along with 25 Greylags grågås and small flocks of Starling stær.


 Typically very flighty this Mistle Thrush duetrost did its best to avoid being photographed




A tip-off about a Mistle Thrush duetrost at Skjold proved fruitless but I found either it or another bird at Tjeldstø - it flew over just as I had given up and was about to head home. Other stuff seen during the search included several more Lapwing vipe, a Woodcock rugde (new in?), a few flocks of Starling stær, Fieldfares gråtrost and a fly over Siskin grønnsisik.

Things are on the move at last.....
