Øygarden 10 January 2023 - Young Whoopers at last

Bascally just a few short drive-bys whilst preparing to leave for work.

The garden produced a Sparrowhawk spurvehauk, several Mallard stokkand and the first Greenfinch grønnfink of the year.

An increase in the number of Whoopers sangsvane at Tjeldstø was nice to see - especially with the addition of three second year birds - the first juveniles of the winter here:) A female Tufted Duck toppand was also present on Rotevatnet.

Also picked up a Guillemot lomvi heading south over the fjord where at least one White-tailed Eagle havørn kept an eye on things. The first Collared Dove tyrkedue of the year also put in an appearance.

The Greylags grågås at Breivik were still around too.
