Projects: Hooded Crow and Raven
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.

The first day of the 2015 season started on a nest finding mission to continue with the monitoring of Kvismarens corvid population which occurs every 5 years. A 6 hour trek produced many possible nesting sites and 1 confirmed nest with a lot more ground to cover in the following days.
