Tjeldstø 20 July 2018 - Summer wildfowl

Calm and sunny.

A short stroll around Tjeldstø produced a very unseasonal Pink-footed Goose kortnebbgås as the best bird.  This is the first July record for Øygarden. A second Tufted Duck toppand had joined the bird from the other day.

Other than this just the usual breeding waders.

Chaffinch bokfink

Finches such as Linnets tornirisk and Chaffinch bokfink are starting to form flocks now.


A couple of Swift tårnseiler and a Black-headed Gull hettemåke were signs of migration from the terrace later in the day.
