SWEDEN - 4th November

 Still very windy, so I was back out on the point first thing but the wind had moved round to just north of west meaning cover was hard to find, pushing me to a poorer viewpoint which produced much reduced numbers including 2 Shoveler, 79 Eider, 21 Common Scoter, 2 Goldeneye, 2 Goosander, 6 Red-breasted Mergansers, an Oystercatcher, a Dunlin, 2 Guillemots, 15 Razorbill, 9 Kittiwakes, 7 Red-throated Divers and 9 Gannets while a Waxwing flew over the carpark and 2 Snow Buntings were milling around.   

A Spotted Redshank and 34 Grey Plovers were seen from the house before, in an attempt to escape the strong winds on the coast I had a wander around some places in town but it was pretty rubbish with just a Marsh Tit of note.
