Maggots!

With Number 2 still 'off sick', we headed out with her wrapped up in the back of the car in a big duvet nest. We tried Yttre Kattvik, but after our first frost overnight, the heat-haze off the sea was appalling...

Moving on we tried Klarningen (my 100th visit!), plenty of birds here but we had hardly started when we discovered that Number 1 had left her coat in the car... Notable birds we managed to see before leaving to go back to school were; barnacle goose (40, still present), wigeon (90), teal (90), pintail (2), hobby (1K), dunlin (3) and ruff (20+).

In the afternoon I pronounced Number 2 fit for light duties and we went out into the fantastic blue-sky weather to check out Ranarpstrand for an hour. A few barn swallow, skylark and buzzard on the move. Notable birds included; red-necked grebe (1), golden plover (1), grey plover (1K), dunlin (9) and greenshank (1).
