A confusion of bearded tits - how many were there today? No wonder I cannot find any on-patch, they are all at Sandön.A day with the kids started at Klarningen for a quick check, a great egret moved south yesterday and nearly got to me last night. It vanished without trace today though. Klarningen had similar birds to yesterday; rough-legged buzzard (2), hen harrier (1), lapwing (7) and snow bunting (20).
Drove over to Sandön, stopping en route at the big goose flock outside Ängelholm. A short time scanning revealed the presence of about 25 white-fronted geese, in amongst the 1250 greylag, and lesser numbers of barnacle and Canada goose. Sandön was good but misty. The kids behaved well and let me have a good look around. Some great birds appeared during our hour here including white-tailed eagle (adult), goshawk (male), water rail (2 heard), dunlin (65), kingfisher (1), bearded tit (40+), snow bunting (3) and reed bunting (1). Nice morning.
