rouzel!

Walked between Dagshög and the sewage works at Torekov with team B today. Still a chilly wind from the north but plenty of sun to take the edge off it all thankfully. Dagshög produced a bit of vismig with marsh harrier and hen harrier in-off and through north and even a crossbill overhead. A few goldcrests evident in the juniper here too and even one in the garden when we got home. They are very obvious this spring.

The best thing to come out of the juniper scrub though was a male ring ouzel at Påarps Mal. It called a staccato burst of three rapid 'chacks' and launched into the air as I whirled to get my bins on it. Nice flight view and as it headed north I prayed for it to drop back in but it just kept on going. Perhaps the first bird in NW Skåne this year?

After lunch we had time to check the area around the sewage works and I finally added wheatear (male) and golden plover (100) to the year-list.
