Strong southerly winds but no rain.
Although the winds were strong it was nothing like as bad as my previous trip to Skogsøy and there were some birds passing. Highlight was a nice Black-throated Diver storlom - amazingly my first in Øygarden this year - just shows how little I have been out. Nine Long-tailed Duck havelle were the first of the autumn.
Red-throated Divers smålom
Other sightings included over 90 Gannets havsule, 24 Common Scoter svartand heading south, a lone Great Northern Diver islom heading north, several Red-throated Diver smålom, a flock of three Dunlin myrsnipe, small numbers of Guillemot lomvi and Razorbill alke, several Kittiwake krykkje and a Goldeneye kvinand.
Elsewhere plenty of birds about with 100's of thrushes in the fields. A flock of six Golden Plover heilo flew over at Breivik.
