Weather: Cool, windy and rain showers.
Projects: Marsh Harrier.
Today the conditions for Marsh Harrier monitoring were less than desirable with the birds focus on hunting as opposed to displaying. However a male was seen over Källviken and also a male hunting over the marsh at Rysjön and another over Nyängen reedbed.
A meeting was also held with Jan Sondell to demonstrate the focuses of the projects he is running this season.
Today, the show was rather stolen by a second for Kvismaren, infact a first since 1967, 49 years ago, a Tengmalm’s Owl (Aegolius funereus) was roosting in Sörön all day and the views were fantastic! About time something overshadowed the Ring-necked Duck, which was also present on Rysjön today.
