SWEDEN - 9th July

A decent morning ringing at Rysjön produced an Icterine Warbler, a Spotted Flycatcher and 2 Whinchat while also seen were 3 Crossbills over, a Wryneck, a Bittern, a Common Sandpiper and 3 Cuckoos.   

Spent the afternoon back at Oset and while we failed to connect with the Rose-coloured Starling that was seen there yesterday it was a good walk with the highlight being insane views of a pair of Slavonian Grebes feeding chicks down to 2m away!   Other birds included three Swedish ticks – 6 Oystercatchers, a Goosander and a Sparrowhawk along with 3 Whooper Swans, 7 Slavonian Grebes, a Great White Egret and a Thrush Nightingale.
