1605 northern Øygarden

 Migration is in full swing, easterlies, mid-May. The choice wasn't difficult. It had to be Øygarden yesterday.

It was nice, but not very good. But circumstances were very good for sound recording!

I had four singing Lesser Whitethroats and loads of Common Redpolls. At Dåvøy the Common Terns were back, but there was no sign of the Arctic Terns. I hope they will come later...There, a White-tailed Eagle flew over, which made the nesting Great-Black-backed Gulls alarm (listen below)
