North westerly storm easing to strong gale with hail showers later.
Mildly put difficult conditions due to the wind - it wasn't really possible to stand up (or at least stand still) in the wind. My bird feeder and an outside light were destroyed and I lost a roof tile too.
Barely even the usual species from the house - with a Cormorant storskarv being the first species of 2019 for me. There was a nice Common Scoter svartand on the sea in the relatively calm waters there.
At Dåvøy I picked up a Slavonian Grebe horndykker and an adult White-tailed Eagle havørn had a good go at a Herring Gull gråmåke.
The most surprising bird was a Collared Dove tyrkerdue at Tjeldstø - an unusual time of year to see this species here.
