Southerly winds and overcast in the morning. Glorious later. Not that it made much of a difference today as I was working in town all day today....
Before I left the house for work I had two new for the year in Øygarden - a Goshawk hønsehauk flew over and there were some Siskin grønnsisik in the garden. The former was also new for the house list.
I passed Tjeldstø on the way to work and caught up with what I up to now thought was an odd-looking and rather small Glaucous Gull polarmåke but opinion seems to be coming round to a hybrid of some sort. I have to agree as it doesn't quite fit either of the two usual white wingers. More on this later if I ever get a minute.
On my way home I drove past Tjeldstø again and saw a flock of four Teal krikkand -.another new for Øygarden this year.
By the time I'd got home and had dinner it was all but dark - ideal conditions for seeing the first roding Woodcock rugde. Nice.
