I enjoyed a couple of hours doing a relaxed walk around Herdlevær in fantastic winter conditions. Mild, sun at times, no wind, no rain (and above all no white stuff or ice).
Although it was relatively quiet the birds that were about were well worth seeing with two Slavonian Grebes horndykker probably taking pole position. Two Peregrines vandrefalk, a White-tailed Eagle havørn and a male Wigeon brunnakke were the best of the rest here. Porpoises and Otter also put in an appearance here.
Elsehwere a nice Goshawk hønsehauk at Tjeldstø really put the local Hooded Crows kråke into something of a panic, some flocks of Common Crossbill grankorsnebb and Parrot Crossbill furukorsnebb still around too.
A nice bonus bird was a Lesser-spotted Woodpecker dvergspett at Hatten.
