With the kids at school and Mrs B at work, it left Ma B and I with a chance for a day out. In amongst a bout of shopping we managed to spend some time at both Hasslarp and Sandön in search of birds. Hasslarp was fairly quiet, just one ruff on the wader front. But a migrating osprey, two feeding swifts and a calling brambling were notable.
Sandön was great with at least six water rail feeding along the edge of the reedbed and a single spotted crake. Many more waders here than in BK with; knot (6), little stint (1), dunlin (132), bar-tailed godwit (2) and greenshank (9). A single bearded tit was tracked down on the island.
