Today I was lucky enough to join Andres Gullberg on his boat
to check out some of the islands in the Oslofjord which are not visible from
the mainland. Andreas has been out quite often recently and has seen a few good
birds so I was looking forward to the trip. The weather was perfect and the
tide was very high thus concentrating the birds. At Gåsungene which are 3 rocks
that stick up in the middle of the fjord (and have small lighthouses on them)
we had 9 Dunlin (myrsnipe), 3 Knot (polarsnipe) and best of all a single Turnstone
(steinvender) which was a long overdue year tick. Also here a single Common
Seal (steinkobbe). On a nearby island we had a young female Peregrine perched
up (she was a very large bird).
