Kicked off at Klarningen this morning for the first three hours of daylight. Not much on the site but plenty flying over during the session. The best of the vismig included merlin (1), red-throated pipit (1), grey wagtail (1) and common crossbill (9). Good movement of tree pipit, chaffinch and siskin evident. Siskin seem to be calling everywhere at the moment and are obviously really moving this autumn. The wetland had a few notable things; wigeon (17), pintail (2), shoveler (1), golden plover (3), dunlin (1), and ruff (3). A 2K goshawk perched up and looked menacing for a while before drifting away.
For lunch we all went out to Grytskären for a hot-dog grilling session. Not much in the trees but the walk up to Ranarpsstrand produced a few waders; golden plover (2), knot (1), dunlin (15), a superb flock of 18 bar-tailed godwit and single redshank, greenshank and common sandpiper.
Nearly went to Ripagården this morning and dipped a bluethroat. I know where I'm going tomorrow!
