When there's no migration...
... you have to find other places for birding. The morning was maybe the worst since I arrive in a seabird-migration point of view. But even if there was no seabird migration, the cape has always something nice to offer. An otter was seen well when it was hunting eiders! I don't think it's very common to see otters hunting eiders.
After the seawatch I went to find some eastern vagrants, primarily Yellow-browed warbler since it has turned up good numbers in Finland the last week. Unfortunately, no Yellow-browed was found, but a warbler even better for a Swedish birder like me. A Booted warbler, that was seen twice in an hour, skulking in a raspberry stock. The bird was seen well enough to exclude Syke's warbler and other similarly species.
Good numbers of Chiffchaff was seen this morning, as well as three Two-barred crossbills. A Red-breasted flycatcher was seen in the noon and a Corncrake was seen in the field off Spithami.
