SWEDEN - 27th September

 Drizzly, dank and windy conditions cancelled the day’s ringing for the second day in a row with a subsequent walk along the ‘Moose Road’ producing not much apart from good views of 3 Moose and a decent flock of 18 Mistle Thrushes while 4 Redwings and 2 Reed Buntings were added to the site list.   

A few bits around the house were the only other things of note which comprised a late Wheatear along the track where there were also 55+ Skylarks in the fields, 2 Hen Harriers floating around and a Great-spotted Woodpecker watched caching pine cones in a crack in a telegraph pole – the first time I’ve seen them doing this, perhaps a more Scandinavian tactic than back in the UK.
