Light easterlies after rain in the night couldn't really go wrong....
Quite a productive couple of hours early on at Herdlevær today. Finally got out and about and there was plenty of interest. Stuff obviously on the move with things passing overhead in addition to resting birds.
Highlight was a cracking Little Stint dvergsnipe which gave the best views I've had of this species in Øygarden - they are often just fly-bys or seen on offshore islands. Today's bird feed on the shore and was also very vocal.
Plenty of other waders including a Knot polarsnipe, several flocks of Golden Plover heilo, Ringed Plovers sandlo, Snipe enkeltbekkasin and a Greenshank gluttsnipe.
A Peregrine vandrefalk put in an appearance a few times as did a Kestrel tårnfalk.
Plenty of passerines too with the best being a Wryneck vendehals.
Back at Nautnes another Kestrel tårnfalk and more waders flying over.
