Dull and wet with southerly winds
Not feeling very spring-like today. Just for a change I managed to get out for little over an hour. A drive-by at Sæle produced very little other than the first Mistle Thrush duetrost of the year. A very typical date for this scarce but regular migrant to turn up. The weather was also right on for this species. Despite the cold it caught a number of worms whilst I watched it.
I did Hjelme Vest very quickly. Not much doing here with a Common Seal steinkobbe probably the best sighting. Otherwise just a White-tailed Eagle havørn, increased numbers of Oystercatcher tjeld and a small flock of Long-tailed Duck havelle.
At Harkestad a Woodcock rugde fed out in the open - an unusual sight given the conditions. This kind of thing usually only happens during extended periods of frozen conditions. Nice,
