The week passed in a blur of work, dentist etc. A singing Chiif-chaff gransanger from my terrace on 04.04 was the first I've had locally this year as was a singing male Wheatear steinskvett at Breivik on 05.04.
On 06.04 I headed to Skogsøy which was pretty quiet although the first Twite bergirisk of the year turned up. Small numbers of auks, including a lone Puffin lunde headed north as did several Red-throated Diver smålom. Otherwise just small numbers Common Gull fiskemåke, Cormorant storskarv and Curlew storspove heading north and the usual southbound movement of Shags toppskarv.
More songbirds in the woods now with Redwing rødvingetrost, Song Thrush måltrost and Dunnock jernspurv numbers all increasing.
An unusual Jay nøtteskrike appearance and a Goshawk hønsehauk at Tjeldstø on the way home with another Twite bergisk, singing Wheatear steinskvett, a White Wagtail linerle, a few White-tailed Eagles havørn and the usual.
A Snipe enkeltbekkasin displaying at Nautnes on 07.04 was the last thing of interest before I left for another work trip to the UK
