Picnic at Påarps Mal

Took the team for lunch at Påarps Mal today. The first shag of the autumn was predictable enough (oo err missus!). A few waders also with ringed plover (10), golden plover (95), lapwing (50), snipe (2), redshank (1), greenshank (3), green sandpiper (2), common sandpiper (3). Plenty of gulls about too, they are on the move. The black-headed gull with the unreadable white darvic ring was taunting me again, I think it is a very old ring, it looks like crazy-paving rather than digits or letters. A quick look at a busy rev produced big numbers of Sandwich tern (70), common tern (3) and dunlin (6).

A swim at a deserted Ripagården on the way home produced just one common sandpiper.
