Strong westerly gale and rather dull.
A quick trip to Herdlevær again with not much to see in the gale force winds which made standing up, never mind birding, something of a challenge. Highlight was a confiding Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt. Five Rock Pipits skjærpiplerke fed in the same area.
Over the sea there were just some Gannets havsule and a few Common Gull fiskemåke on the move.
Other than that the usual suspects including migrating thrushes, several Snipe enkeltbekkasin, Sparrowhawk spurvehauk and a couple of White-tailed Eagles havørn.
Migrating Common Gull fiskemåke
One of my favourite birds - Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt.
