Milder with some rain at times.
On 15 December a walk at Hjelme Vest barely produced the usual suspects with just a Great Northern Diver islom, 45 Long-tailed Duck havelle, several White-tailed Eagles havørn, a few Gannet havsule and small numbers of other seaduck.
At Tjeldstø a total of 12 Whoopers sangsvane fed on the now reopened fresh water - the best count of the winter thus far but disturbingly all were adults. I have often experienced that pairs with young are forced to use less optimal habitats so hopefully this is what is going on.
My usual walk at Herdlevær on 16 December was even quieter with just a Wigeon brunnakke of interest. Several White-tailed Eagle havørn, a couple of Rock Pipit skjærpiplerke and a Gannet havsule were among the other sightings.
At Tjeldstø 17 Mallard stokkand, 7 Whoopers sangsvane and a Sparrowhawk spurvehauk were among the species noted.
