Birding - 12/04/09

Pasque flower - the local nature reserve is awash with them at the moment

A big day in the field at various sites around the patch. Yesterday's year-tick haul totalled 13, could not equal that today, but had a pleasant time all the same. The day's highlights included: small numbers of shoveler and gadwall, a pair of pochard at Petersberg (scarce on the patch), purple sandpiper (13 at Torekov rev), Sandwich tern (2 at Ranarpstrand), kingfisher (1) and the first willow warblers of the year.
