Nipped out after tea for an evening session at Klarningen and then a bit of night-birding around Älemossen. Klarningen was relaxing, a few waders about including snipe (2), redshank (single chick, at last proof of breeding), greenshank (2), green sandpiper (16) and wood sandpiper (8). Following up from the recent sighting of a male red-backed shrike on the site, I found a pair today...
Älemossen produced the usual nocturnal fare, woodcock (3), tawny owl (3), long-eared owl (young heard) and nightjar (2 males heard). Two tawny owl chicks were good value, but I left my torch at home so had to use the camera flash to see them! Stopped also at Ehrenstorp on the way home and had more calling long-eared owl chicks, tawny owl and another nightjar. The easy highlight of the whole session though was a splendid male moose, noisily moving about and easy to see in the last light of day just before midnight.
