After the neap comes spring

Following a number of non-Brent news. Two previous days I have not found any Brent Geese at Álftanes when searching for them around high tide in the afternoon. Today they were there again. A flock of 71 in the innermost part of Skógtjörn was foraging on a saltmarsh at high tide. There I found three marked birds: a pair with only metal on right and yellow on left -ZmY + -VmY and CPLY with an unmarked partner. There were two Brent Geese in a flock of Eiders on the outer part of Hlidsnes peninsula and 33 at Eskines in Gardabaer. A total of 110 today.

    Wind is at last turning after prevailing northerlies for over 10 days. We hope to see more migrants here tomorrow. Found 20 + 12 brent geese today at Seltjarnarnes and Alftanes. Saw 12 at Grunnafjördur on Sunday.
