Today, the morning was taken up by DWE looking for Marsh Harrier nests in Rysjon, MLA searching for GRW’s in Nyangen and Rysjon and LST doing the same in Fagelsjon, with LAR and TMJ trying to catch individuals in Aslasjon.

MLA found 2 singing males, whilst LAR and TMJ caught one bird ringed as a nestling in Segersjo a few years ago and saw a few others.

The last night, DWE and MLA have tried to ring some migratory waders at Källviken but unfortunately the weather conditions weren’t the right ones for it - no clouds on the sky and bit windy. So no waders were trapped.

GRW team went out today to explore Rysjön, Nyängen, Fågelsjön and Åslasjön early in the morning. Despite the calm weather and sightings of 10+ little gulls and 4 black terns, LST and MLA did not hear or see any GRW. However, LAR and TMJ successfully located at least two males, one of which was seen with rings.

This morning DWE and MLA went to Lötenplatform to check out the Marsh harrier nesting activities on Rysjön and Nyängen. We discover 1 for sure new nest but 2 very likely nests as well in Nyängen.

Following this we went to climb and check the larger boxes in Sörön for Tawny Owl’s in order to collect unhatched eggs for the Riksmuseum in Stockholm. Sadly no nests were found in the nest boxes here.
