Quite possibly the month I have birded least in my entire life:(
Correspondingly little to report but obviously things going on at least some of the time.
At Nautnes Nuthatch spettmeis suddenly turned up again - not an everyday species out here. Terns too seemed to do quite well with adults of both Arctic Tern rødnebbterne and Common Tern makrellterne feeding fledged young - most likely from localities close by.
Mergansers siland at Tjeldstø
Two young Oystercatcher tjeld at Tjeldstø
Small flocks of recently fledged Goldfinch stillits here and there showed that this species continues its advance in the region. Small numbers of migrants started to show with several Golden Plover heilo at Tjeldstø.
Young Goldfinch stillits - one of few species that seems to be doing well
Nuthatch spettmeis - another species that seems to be more widepsread in recent times
Plenty of young Swallows låvesvale arounf
Small numbers of waders started passing with Greenshank gluttsnipe, Redshank rødstilk, Golden Plover heilo and others on the move. Recently fledged Teal krikkand at Kollsnes seems to be leaving things a bit late - possibly failed on first attempt.
Stonechats svartstrupe seem to have managed to fledge young at two localities at least:)
Curlew storspove migrating past Herdlevær 09 July
White-tailed Eagle havørn over the house as I took the shopping out of the car. Thankfully there is no need to go very far to see some birds:)
