I was stacking wood all afternoon yesterday, so did not hear the news that one of the local birders in the area had found two shorelark on an inland field near the house. This is exciting stuff hereabouts, shorelark being at best scarce passage birds. After a night of snow, the weather here had got a lot warmer and windier.
So after a leisurely start to the day Team Benstead all headed out. The birds were on a bare, wind-swept fallow field and looked very much at home. I have spent a lot of time looking for shorelark along the coast and now I have to start thinking about them being inland too. New for Sweden and the patch, just how I like them. Good one Jonas!
