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.

The day started early, as the Wetland Census was planned to start at 5.00 in the morning for everyone at Ängfallet. However, the quite heavy rain put everyone back to bed for a couple more hours.

This morning LAR and TMJ went to Åslasjön for the GRW project. A male singing short song was observed and several males seemed to respond to try and attract the female he was courting.

Later in the afternoon LAR returned and all birds were singing long song, indicating the female had moved on.

An attempt to listen for birds around Sörbyjön was made but was quickly rained off.
