Tjeldstø 11 December 2012 - Still winter

Calm with light snowfall much of the morning.

Slightly milder than of late but still very frozen so many species still having a hard time of things.


 Woodcock rugde - has to be cold to see these feeding out in the open....

 Snipe enkeltbekkasin hiding away in a narrow unfrozen channel

 Hooded Crow kråke
Still plenty of Chaffinch bokfink in the garden

A stroll around the reserve produced a Woodcock rugde and a Snipe enkeltbekkasin that are (just) hanging in there on the few patches of unfrozen wet ground.

Other birds included a couple of White-tailed Eagles havørn and a Great-spotted Woodpecker flaggspett.

A brief stop at Dåvøy gave views of a Red-throated Diver smålom and another Snipe enkeltbekkasin.

Herdlevær 22 February 2012

Strong south westerly winds and very dull

 Hooded Crow kråke feeding in an area where the heather has recently been burnt
 Otter chomping on something it caught
Two Common Scoter svartand

A walk at Herdlevær produced little of interest although there was an otter feeding close inshore and a small raptor flushed was probably a Merlin dvergfalk.
