Got out before breakfast and had a look at Klarningen. More greylag geese in (650), with many feeding on spilt grain in the stubble next door. Wigeon numbers have hit the heady heights of 12, just one pintail remains but the shoveler gang is up to at least six birds and the lone tufted duck remains. Waders have reduced slightly with just 6 ruff, three dunlin, snipe (20), curlew (1) and wood sandpiper (2). The lapwing flock is increasing though with 500 present today.
All these birds were unconcerned when a hobby flew through but pandemonium ensued half an hour later when a peregrine flew south over the site.
Spent the rest of the day with the family - a light honey buzzard passage evident over Hallandåsen, coal tit and osprey at Hemmeslövsstrand and a black woodpecker calling near Cafe Utsikten.
