Tried Øygarden today. Sunshine and too much wind from the north. Not the best migration circumstances may be, but I saw some nice birds. The Stonechats at Kollsnes had their young around them and there I also heard my first Common Cuckoo of the year.
At Herdlevær a Carrion Crow was present as well as a singing Lesser Whitethroat, a European Goldfinch, Tree Sparrows, Twites and a good deal Common Starlings. I checked Husavatnet at Tjeldstø, where the male Gadwall gave distant views. And at Dåvøy only one (may be the first?) Arctic tern was trying to hide between the Common terns...On the way back I had a Carrion Crow at Breivik. That must have been the same bird as on Herdlevær, I believe.
