SWEDEN - 14th July

A steady morning at Rysjön with the usual run of juvenile Willow Warblers while other birds included 2 Crossbills over, a Green Woodpecker, a Hobby, a calling Wryneck and still good numbers of Swifts low over the reserve as it clouded over.   

Birds in the afternoon on the fantastic looking Löten included a Temminck’s Stint, 5 Curlew Sandpipers, 65+ Wood Sandpipers, 3 Little Ringed Plover, 6 Spotted Redshank, 18 Dunlin, 15 Greenshank, 20 Ruff and single Common Sandpiper and Green Sandpiper but the highlight was a beautiful, pristine, super-fresh juvenile Little Gull – a stunning bird, the first of this age I’ve seen.   

There was then an adult White-tailed Eagle, quite a few juvenile Common Terns nearly flying and a juvenile Water Rail on Hammarmaden.
