Tuesday morning 20th May was spent at Geitingneset on Herdlevær. Migration was quiet, but entertaining (later on the day the brants came flying by, but I was gone then). First bird was an adult Parasitic Jaeger close by. Further the usual suspects as Northern Gannets, some Red-throated Loons, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Atlantic Puffins, one identifiable Razorbill and a few alcids too far to identify. A flyby Merlin was nice as well as the Common Kestrel there. After one-and-a-half hour I gave up...Further a Lesser Whitethroat on the way back to the car and a Whimbrel flying over on Skogsøy
Short stops at Dåvøy gave four Arctic Terns alongside the Commons in bad light and at Breivik singing Curlews and Golden Plovers.
nice adult light phase Parasitic Jaeger
