Fresh southerly winds, no rain.
It turned out that the dates for the New Year's bird race had changed since I last checked them so today was in fact the first day.
Once again something of a late start so only managed a trip to Skogsøy and a brief check at a few other localities.
At Skogsøy the best birds were a hunting Peregrine vandrefalk, a couple of Woodcock rugde and a single Gannet havsule. Very little on or over the sea.
Breivik held a flock of thrushes and Starlings stær.
At Tjeldstø a stop at the shops produced the Greylag grågås flock that has been around for the last few days.
Bird of the day was an Eagle Owl hubro that gave cracking views at a regular roosting site.

We blew away the cobwebs at Skogsoy this afternoon too. Saw eiders - 9 male and 2 female. Love this coast when visiting from London! Mary and Ian
