Easing back a bit on the early morning starts it seems, as I slept through the alarm again... With Number 1 having a try-out at school (she made the team), we had a chance to take Number 2 out for a walk. We headed for Påarps Mal, hoping for a fly-by sooty tern (a possible yesterday on nearby Hallands Väderö) and were suitably rewarded with a superb but skulky broad-billed sandpiper (I dread to think how many of these I have walked past) and also a flock of 21 brent geese north. The broad-billed was only my third on patch, they are not easy in BK.
Walking on to Dagshög we picked up a couple of black-throated divers, one an adult and the other an immature (it is too early for fledged 1K birds presumably so it must have been 2K).
Nipped back to Torekov reningsverk for a reported great reed warbler but could only scare up a marsh warbler in the small reedbed here. A pair of grey partridge too. Good day.
