A dreary, thinking-about-being-drizzly day but remaining calm throughout; the nets were quieter than of late but did include another handful of Common Redpolls and a Blackcap while other birds of note comprised a total of 64 Whooper Swans, 3 Little Grebes, 14 Goosanders and a Grey Wagtail.
A walk round Sillhallsvik and then the Marina from lunchtime (although it was already pretty dark!) produced a single adult Bewick’s Swan with 41 Whoopers at the mouth of the bay where there was also big numbers of ducks and waders totalling 531 Mallard, 305 Teal, 23 Shoveler, 2 Pintail and a Ruff, also of note were 10 Little Grebes by the Marina, good totals of 95 Goldeneye and 55 Red-breasted Mergansers and a Treecreeper – the first I’ve seen out on the peninsula.
