SWEDEN - 22nd September

 Very windy in the morning but we still opened some nets at Fågelsjön, needless to say we didn’t catch too much bar a couple of Reed Buntings and a smart male Lesser Redpoll.   

There were a few bits seen though including plenty of Barnacle and Taiga Bean Geese flying around, 2 Pintail, 10 Goosander, a little group of 3 Smew flushed off Öbymaden where there were also 14 Dunlin and 3 Ringed Plover, a Spotted Redshank, 5 Great White Egrets, a few raptors comprising 3 White-tailed Eagles, a Rough-legged Buzzard, 3 Marsh Harriers, 5 Buzzards and a Kestrel and 40+ Skylarks with some birds moving south.   

A walk round Oset in the decreasing wind early afternoon produced good views of a Red-throated Pipit along the central path, a single remaining Whinchat, 31 Dunlin, 2 Ringed Plover and at least 4 Chiffchaffs.
