Calm with some snow showers.
Went to Dåvøy to see the regularly wintering Slavonian (Horned) Grebe horndykker that was seen there a few days ago. This showed quite well and I took some pictures with my latest point and pray superzoom - very happy with the results from this cheapo camera.
Other stuff in the area included a family of Porpoises nise, a few Guillemot lomvi, a Curlew storspove, a Woodcock rugde, a Rock Pipit skjærpiplerke and most of the usual suspects. Some fresh Water Rail vannrikse tracks also here.
The Dipper fossekall remained at Alvheim whilst six adult Whoopers sangsvane and a female Tufted Duck toppand were on Storavatnet.
Back home a Nautnes a couple of Brambling bjørkefink in the garden along with 15 Siskin grønnsisik, a Sparrowhawk spurvehauk and all the garden regulars - numbers of Robin rødstrupe and Blackbird svarttrost both seem to be increasing.

Whoopers sangsvane with point and pray coming out of the bag for the second time today.
