Garden tick!

Up at 0130 this morning to wave goodbye to my sister and her family. Surprised to hear at least two long-eared owl youngsters nearby - excellent garden tick!

At a more civilised hour, I took the kids for a quick look at Ranarpsstrand, just seven redshank and one greenshank.

Later in the day I checked out Farhult. Stacks of waders here with; oystercatcher (80), little ringed plover (1), curlew (29), spotted redshank (2), redshank (33), greenshank (45) and wood sandpiper (7). Waders are on the move in numbers. Also 8 shoveler and 16 teal. A quick stop at Sandön produced a singing grasshopper warbler and 35 avocet.
