Had a bit of time in the afternoon to check out Klarningen and a few sites up on the hill. Klarningen is drying fast but looks good for waders still. Ducks have moved on though, just three teal and a handful of mallard remain. I am amazed that the site did not attract a garganey this spring, still time I suppose. Waders included the usual residents plus one greenshank and 16 wood sandpipers. At the back at least four yellow wagtails, included my first grey-headed wagtails of the year.
Up at Frestensfälla a cuckoo was singing. Nearby at Hulrugered, I screeched to a halt for a female ring ouzel, typically shy I never saw it well except in flight. In the same hedgeline were two male redstarts, four song thrushes and a pied flycatcher. Last stop of the day was at Ehrenstorp where a big flock of grey-headed wagtails (30+) and meadow pipits (40) were feeding in a recently harrowed field. Also a female whinchat here.
