Skogsøy 09 July 2022 - Sooty!

 Finally some decent summer weather! Fresh North westerly winds with some light showers meant that I set my alarm clock for a relatively early start. 

I was not disappointed:) One of the first birds to pass was a nice Sooty Shearwater grålire - the first of the year. A total of five Manx Shearwater havlire also passed including a nice flock of three. Several Fulmar havhest also headed north. Otherwise it was pretty much just Gannets havsule, a couple each of Puffins lunde and Guillemot lomvi and several Razorbill alke.

Three of a total of five Manx Shearwater havlire seen today - all in nice scope range but pushing it a bit for photos! Somewhat better images from my recent trip to Iceland here.

At least one White-tailed Eagle havørn put in an appearance on the way home but otherwise the woods and moorland were rather quiet.
