Quiet morning

Nipped out early to check out Torekov and Glimminge. All the lovely rotting weedmats along the coast have been re-organised and replenished by the recent gale and no longer offer easy feeding opportunities, so there were few waders feeding at the rev. Wigeon are on the move, with ten in this morning. Waders present did include knot (7), dunlin (32), bar-tailed godwit (2), curlew (11) and greenshank (3). No visible passerine migration obvious this morning.

Påarps Mal next, quiet here too with just 30 golden plover, a couple of dunlin and redshank and a greenshank. A single pintail was nice and offshore an adult razorbill and its youngster were cruising about.

Last stop of the morning was a quick look at Glimminge. This produced the only decent bird of the session, a resting 1K little gull. Also here red-necked grebe (1K), ten snipe, bar-tailed godwit (2) and greenshank (2).

In the afternoon we all went for a walk around Vasaltheden, still quiet, no passerines lurking anywhere and little on the move. A flock of 16 goldfinch was the only notable record.
