Tree pipit

Got out early this morning for a look at Torekov. Things should be moving in these light southerlies and the first bird at the rev was a migrating tree pipit. Redstarts and willow warblers were singing, both these species have arrived in force now. Otherwise the only other birds of note were at least six purple sandpipers, a single redshank and a singing stock dove. Flytermossen had four marsh harriers, all trying to sort out who owned the reedbed, and a madly displaying pair of redpoll.

Checked out Påarps mal before home for; barnacle goose (pair), shoveler (3), golden plover (76), my first patch common sandpiper of the year and four redshank.

No car during the day so had to work in the garden, one hawfinch over was my reward.
