Working on the house continues, had ear defenders on most of the day, so not much noticed. In the afternoon though during a quiet period, a pied flycatcher flew over my head. It went straight in to check a vacant nest-box and then whizzed off. Time in garden 30 seconds - looked like it was taking an inventory of available boxes!
All quiet in Båstad along the front, just four loafing Sandwich terns and a large flock of goldeneye (c. 50). Checked out Petersberg later, the highlight being 11 swallows and another large flock of goldeneye (probably including many of the birds previously out on the sea nearby). Drove back over Älemossen hoping for a ring ouzel but dusk fell too quickly. Did get chipping snipe up here though and a single tree pipit.
