Skogsøy 20 November 2020 - Orcas

 Light SE winds, rather colder than of late.

Hoping for some kind of movement after yesterday's storm I headed for Skogsøy and spent a couple of hours seawatching. Birdwise there was nothing out of the ordinary but two Orcas spekkhogger heading north were well worth the effort.

Birds included a Little Auk alkekonge and a Black Guillemot teist heading north, a few Red-throated Diver smålom, a Velvet Scoter sjøorre and a variety of gulls including 14 Kittiwake krykkje heading south.

Frustratingly a white-winged gull heading south was too far off for positive ID.

On the way back to the car I picked up a Peregrine vandrefalk which was at a look out post on Herdlevær and an Otter.
