Calm, mild and not raining!
An unexpected sighting were six adult Whoopers sangsvane feeding in the lagoons - this is a regular wintering area for them but normally is only used when freshwater is frozen.
I did no real seawatching, just looked out over the sea whilst I ate my sandwiches and had a cup of coffee. Virtually the only bird that passed was a single Great Northern Diver islom heading south. It was quite close in though.
Otherwise it was just the usual White-tailed Eagles havørn and a few Crested Tit toppmeis. A Sparrowhawk spurvehauk posed nicely beside the parking area as I left.
A few random shots from yesterday:
Five of the Whoopers sangsvane present today

Whoopers sangsvane at Kollsnes.
It seems Whoopers sangsvane with young are nearly always forced off onto the less optimal areas with adult only groups being dominant,
