Speed birding

Not much time for birding today. Stopped off at Sinarpsdalen for five minutes hoping for a drumming lesser spotted woodpecker. Again no luck. Behind me a starling gave reasonable mimicry of that white noise/radio static bit of black redstart song. Where did he learn that from? Yes, the male black redstart! Which blasted around the corner of a barn chasing a moth. I guess they are here to stay then.

In the afternoon I took the team for a very quick look at the sea at Segelstorpsstrand. Number 1 was running hot though so we went home after just 15 minutes, this virus never ends! I did have time for four great crested grebes, a Slavonian grebe and five smart goldfinches.
