After a day of DIY it was time for my Swedish lesson. Checked out Båstad first for whimbrel (1) and a large flock of goldeneye (65). After school headed out to Ripagården, picking up three lesser black-backed gulls in a ploughed field en route. At Ripagården, things were quiet until I flushed a pair of grey partridge, which whirred off and over onto the top fields. Incredibly my first this year - they are really are scarce on the patch. Omissions that still remain this year are long-tailed tit (harsh winter?) and bullfinch (?). The calm, blue-sky conditions mean that migration is going without a hitch and things are a bit dull at ground-level. Just have to hope for an over-shooting southerner I guess.
