SE3, sunny. It felt quite cold today despite there being no overnight frost.
Migration wise today was something of a non-starter with fewer birds passing than the last couple of visits. SE winds in spring are not renowned for numbers but can produce unexpected birds - today was not one of those days. With the exception of the usual suspects the only birds of any note at all were a flock of 10 Teal krikkand which are not normally associated with such nice weather at this time of year. A Brambling bjørkefink also passed overhead.
Once again southbound Common Scoter svartand were largely 2 cy birds and all northbound birds were adults.
A White-tailed Eagle havørn did a relatively close fly-by with another bird present at longer range.
On the way home I stopped at Husvatnet where a pair of mating Redshanks rødstilk were almost comical - a rather noisy affair and something of a balancing act. Let us hope they have plenty of young and manage to raise them successfully.
