Tjeldstø / Nautnes 21-27 July 2018 - No birding

Apart from an hour of impromtu guiding on 24th there has been little or no birding this week.

Best bird was a Green Sandpiper skogsnipe from the house early in the morning of 27th - first of the autumn here in Øygarden. Next best was a Collared Dove tyrkerdue at Tjeldstø on 24th.

The unusual summer Pinkfoot kortnebbgås remained at Husvatnet until at least 25th.

Otherwise some indication of Common Gull fiskemåke and Black-headed Gull hettemåke migration and the usual White-tailed Eagle havørn trying to catch geese.

Animals seen from the house this week have included Porpoise nise, Red Deer hjørt and a bat flaggermus (not often I see the latter in Øygarden!). A fishing trip on 24th produced six species of fish....should probably start reporting these too.....
