Nets opened at 0345 in a light N wind that moved to the S during the morning. Nets closed at 1100.
At 0600 we were joined by Ebba for the morning and finished the session with 30 new birds of 8 species.
Niklas & Lasse headed north in the morning, Niklas being early enough to see the Wild Boar (Vildsvin) near Saltmar. Both saw what is assumed to be the same Marsh Harrier (Brun kärrhök) that we later saw at Bredmar. Their sighting of the day was a female Golden Oriole (Sommargylling) migrating north. A summary of their more interesting sightings will be included later.
Afternoon will be spent starting the checking of Starling (Stare) nest boxes.
There will be five at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Mats, Lasse and Niklas.
