Marsh Harrier;
We spent the morning observing the Harriers from 2 positions, Fiskingemaden platform and the bank at Västamarden. Unfortunately the Harriers seemed to be more interesting in feeding than nest building this morning and no further nests were located. We can hypothesis that there is probably 1 pair in the area around Västamarden. Hopefully we will be able to confirm this soon.

A slow start to proceedings, but after finding 3 nests in quick succession spirits were up. We also got very good views of a 2cy male Merlin having breakfast on an unfortunate passerine and a White-tailed Eagle flew over on our wanderings. A male Wheatear and a flock of around 500 Redwings were also discovered around the Kvismaren area.
