After some early morning murk, it was a beautiful sunny day but better still, it was wondrously calm, even more noticeable after a week of strong winds; the nets had the usual Robins, wrens and Blue Tits along with 7 Lesser Redpolls.
Other birds included a total of 11 Whooper Swans (six in the bay at first light, three straight south and two more in the bay mid-morning – all adults) along with some Barnacles and Greylags moving south, 4 Buzzards which went south as soon as the sun came out, some Bearded Tits and a squealing Water Rail in the reedbeds, 2 Bramblings and a good total of 13 Yellowhammers overhead.
From late morning I went down south to Rödskär where the highlight was again 5 Shorelarks briefly in the bay, there was also a hint of some passage including a Siskin, some high Blue Tits, a high flock of 19 Cormorants in formation and a big, very high flock of 150 Greylag Geese.
