Me and Number 2 went for a walk this morning around the Killeröd loop track. Quite a few birds as usual and plenty on the move. Migrants going over included woodpigeon (18), tree pipit (1), meadow pipit (2), my first redwing (2) of the season and brambling (1). In the woods we could hear crossbills and jays, and in the clearing we had a deja vu moment when a nutcracker flew on exactly the same track, equally stuffed with nuts, as the last time we did this walk. Thrushes were noticeable with at least five song thrushes and two mistles.
We took our packed lunch back to Ranarpsstrand, hoping for a migrant or two. In just over an hour and a half we managed; gadwall (1), Slavonian grebe (1), grey plover (1K), greenshank (1), lesser whitethroat (1) and redpoll (3). Siskin were moving in small groups past us almost continously, but most of the other vismig was going on just a little bit inland this morning.
