Cloudless and sunny again but with a fresh north-easterly wind making it feel pretty cold.
A quick look at Solberg showed that it was a good day to be sat at Skogsøy - stuff was pouring past but most birds were too far off to identify. In the fifteen minutes or so I sat there the highlights were a Shelduck gravand, a couple of Red-throated divers smålom and a Puffin lunde.
Good numbers of Common Gull fiskemåke and Oystercatcher tjeld headed north.
A walk around Herdlevær later on produced relatively little on the ground but more of the same over the sea. The only new bird today was a single Meadow Pipit heipiplerke although a Snipe enkeltbakkasin was also probably a new arrival and a Curlew storspove had taken up territory.
