Not quite what was forecast - southerly winds, steady light rain and dull.
Skogsøy failed to produce the goods today (quite a rare event) with a single Curlew storspove as the best bird and a Common Gull fiskemåke the only new species for the year. Virtually nothing going on over the sea and only small numbers of Eider ærfugl, Shag toppskarv and Cormorant storskarv on the sea.
A drive-by at Herdlevær failed to turn up anything of interest - just a flock of 12 Greenfinch grønnfink.
At Tjeldstø there were the usual thrushes and a couple of Whoopers sangsvane.
Business as usual at Nautnes with White-tailed Eagle havørn, a small flock of Fieldfare gråtrost and most of the usual suspects in the garden.
The day was saved by a sighting of an Eagle Owl hubro.
