Birding - 05/06/09

Managed a couple of hours out with the kids at Vasaltheden in the afternoon. Highlight was the first fledgling wheatears of the year. I did get a flyby of a Streptopelia dove which had the adrenaline pumping (it was batting north and turtle is a mega here) - Number 1 and 2 conspired to push over the pram with Number 3 on board just at that moment - it was only a collared dove luckily and Number 3 survived. Spent the rest of the session watching the kids jumping into small streams.
