Busy day

Today demonstrated the richness of the Swedish avifauna when compared to the UK nicely. After a deep snowfall overnight I was out sorting out the paths and clearing the car early in the morning. Overhead 8 bullfinches and a hawfinch and my first raven of the year.

Driving Ma B to the railway station through the drifts we had a hunting sparrowhawk and then discovered that the train was cancelled and headed down the E6 to Ängelholm. An adult white-tailed eagle flew low over the motorway in front of us. In Ängelholm we had a hunting goshawk by the railway station and then it was back to shovelling snow in the afternoon (one waxwing over). A great bag of birds without getting the bins out.
