Due to the bad weather (too windy and showers), we decided to take the morning off and to go birding at Tysslinge for the Citrine Wagtail and at Sommoro for the Red-Breasted Flycatcher as both species are a life for us!!! . We also looked for Dottorels around the area, but as it happened yesterday, we missed them.
