Fresh westerly winds.
Once again failed miserably to get out of bed, perhaps not surprising given the lengths of the shifts I've pulled this week. Didn't make it out to the lookout point until late in the day - 0830 and therefore missed much of the day's action. Over 260 Gannets havsule headed north during the couple of hours I spent out there Kittiwake krykkje and a light passage of Oystercatcher tjeld were among the other birds seen.
Waders passing on the walk out included Greenshank gluttsnipe and Redshank rødstilk
A stop at Husvatnet on the way home produced an adult Bar-tailed Godwit lappspove and a Merlin dvergfalk as the best sightings. The Pinkfoot kortnebbgås was still present too.

Many came too close to fit in the frame
There were obviously fish about - many of the Gannets havsule took a dive or two....
Too close again...self-cropping
An all too common sight - Gannet havsule with polyprop rope
Some dramatic skies helped as a backdrop.
