Birding - 14/04/09

An early morning session saw me heading to nearby Vasaltheden and Glimminge Plantering. An enjoyable hour and a half ensued. Vasaltheden was busy with displaying waders, at least two male snipe were up and active, three pairs of redshank and a single pair of lapwing. Offshore a single Slavonian grebe loafed. Overhead a lone green sandpiper was a welcome sight. A quick look at Glimminge next door revealed a dozen resting curlew and a single, flighty ruff.
