Øygarden 30 May - 02 June 2021 - Turnaround

 A few hectic days at home made it difficult to get out and about, although on 31 May I spent much of the day birding.

A walk at Herdlevær produced the best sighting with a single Pomarine Skua polarjo heading north overland.

A boat trip later in the morning showed that migration was still going strong with small flocks of Common Scoter svartand, Velvet Scoter sjøorre and Red-throated Diver smålom heading north.

An Otter gave good views from my terrace on the morning I left for work.
