A fierce westerly and overcast conditions sent the temperature plummeting today. I tried sea-watching at Yttre Kattvik for an hour in the morning and there were a few birds moving. The best of it included red-throated diver (5), great crested grebe (3), red-necked grebe (1), peregrine (1), guillemot (2) and razorbill (1).
A quick look at Klarningen produced the first oystercatchers of the year on site, otherwise wildfowl figures remained stable and there were no surprises. It was bitterly cold here in the strong wind and I did not last long. Driving home over the top produced over 20 mistle thrushes around Älemossen, a pair of cranes dancing at Ehrenstorp and 12 speedy waxwings in Sinarpsdalen. The wind goes south tomorrow so I may be able to unblock wheatear and chiffchaff for the year.
