A lovely morning, clear and sunny but with a little breeze which sprung up a few hours in; the nets at Fågelsjön were profitable with a nice spread of species highlighted by a Grasshopper Warbler (an overdue Swedish tick!), another 4 Bluethroats, a late Marsh Warbler (first one for several weeks), a Yellow Wagtail, 2 Garden Warblers, 3 Whitethroats, a Blackcap, a couple of Bearded Tits and good numbers of Reed Warblers and Siskins.
Other birds included a Golden Plover, 8 Ruff, a Spotted Redshank, a Great White Egret, an Osprey and 2 Tree Pipits.
An hour’s look from the Hammarmaden platform in the evening was also productive as birds of note comprised 2 Hen Harriers (both ringtails), 3 White-tailed Eagles, a Sparrowhawk, 5 Buzzards, good counts of 24 Herons, 172 Wigeon and 52 Shoveler, 13 Golden Plover, 14 Ruff and a Great White Egret.
