New update from Simon Rix in Norway

Simon has reported a flock total of 146 birds recently. Only one ring (6U) was read as the birds were in a forested area and not easy to see.

He was not able to judge the number of juveniles due to difficult viewing conditions.

They should be with us within the next 14 days or so. Watch out for easterlies which may help them make up their minds to cross the north sea.
