Birding - 12/12/09

Spent the morning scavenging for firewood with the family. This included a bit of time at Petersberg, where we heard single reed bunting and redwing.

In the afternoon I took Numbers 1 & 2 down to Stora Hultstrand. The rev here was full of waders with curlew (2), dunlin (34) and lapwing (52). A flock of 52 lapwing in December is just insane. This seems to be one of the few spots on the patch holding teal this winter, at least 30 present here this afternoon. As the sun dipped we headed for a final short look at Grytskaren. Another brace of curlew here (possibly the same) and a goshawk (another big female but too brief to age, same bird as yesterday?).
