SWEDEN - 20th July

The mornings ringing at Rysjön only lasted a couple of hours due to rain moving in so it was pretty unremarkable although there was a Garganey in front of the tower and the Savi’s Warbler was singing nearby.   

A walk around late morning produced the usual turnover of waders on Löten which today comprised 4 Bar-tailed Godwits, a smart red Knot, the juvenile Little Ringed Plover, 10 Ruff, 5 Dunlin, 9 Snipe, 2 Common Sandpipers, 9 Spotted Redshank, a Greenshank and 32 Wood Sandpipers which were once again all flushed by the same tatty, pale Peregrine which, once again failed to catch anything.   

There were then two adult White-tailed Eagles, 2 Great White Egrets and the first big flock of 30+ Siskin of the ‘autumn’ over at Hammarmaden.
