The harsh winter continues, it is hard to believe that white wagtails and chiffchaffs are on their way here.More misty, grey weather today but we headed out for more walking anyway. Tramped around Ripagården for an hour and as usual it was good. Two mistle thrushes remain along the shoreline and we found a lonely goldcrest and heard both bullfinch and common crossbill. Best bird though was a single snipe, they are very hard to find at the moment.
Had a quick look at Torekov rev, pretty quiet today although wader numbers were up with oystercatcher (32) and ringed plover (8). No sign of any purple sandpipers but I am sure they will stop by as they pass north later on in the month. On the way home we stopped at Flytermossen to go through a big flock of 75 siskin, just one redpoll being our reward.
Later in the day took the kids to Segelstorpstrand, managed to find two coot, a curlew and four redshank, whilst playing in the snow and ice.
