Fresh easterly breeze, overcast at first, sunny later.
I spent a couple of hours out at Herdlevær and went to my usual spot to eat my breakfast.
Plenty of waders passing today too, some at close range. Small numbers also feeding in the area. Highlights were a Little Stint dvergsnipe, a couple of Grey Plover tundralo and a Peregrine vandrefalk which snatched an Oystercatcher tjeld out of a passing flock well out to sea.
More Common Gulls fiskemåke and Lesser Black-backed Gulls sildemåke also passing today along with Red-throated Divers smålom and a variety of other species including four Common Tern makrellterne.
Having finished my sandwiches I couldn't resist crawling through some rock pools to take a few pictures of some Dunlin myrsnipe on the shore.
A flock of 68 Ruff brushane fed near Tjeldstø and gave great views from the car as they fed on worms as fast as they could.
A Yellow Wagtail gulerle feeding on the shore during my morning coffee was species 129 from the house and a couple of Arctic Tern rødnebbterne put in an appearance.

Portraits of Dunlin myrsnipe - well worth lying in a rock pool for.
