A peacock 'basking' in the garden at noon was a bit of a surprise, the weather continues grey, although a weak sun tried a few times to make an appearance today.After a trip to Ängelholm in the afternoon, we all hit Rönnen for the last hour of the day. A scan of the sea resulted in Slavonian grebe (2), long-tailed duck (2) and velvet scoter (2). The island seemed pretty quiet, the gyr is overdue to arrive, but things seem loathe to come south this autumn. Very few waxwings recorded yet, for example. The distant rocks off Sandön (Själrönnen) hosted a resting white-tailed eagle and that was our lot.
Hi Phil, there is still enormous amounts of Rowan berries further north in Sweden. So waxwings and thruses will be really late this year. Was in Värmland last weekend and very few of them there also.
