And there's more!!!

It never end! I didn't thouht of more scaups after yesterdays mass flow. I couldn't have more wrong. The migration behaved mush like yesterday. Fantastic movement until one o'clock, then almost completely silent until the last hiur when 1000 wigeons passed close in large flocks.

The count stopped at 7633 Aythya-ducks and 12539 in 36 h! This must be one of the higher counts in the baltic sea, or? If any one knows about any higher numbers I would love to hear about it!

I had some nice species also. A Richard's pipit for example, that came migrating from the sea in the morning. Called and fly right over my head, maybe three metres from me.

A y-b warbler was found today also at the same place as yesterday so probably the same. But the chiffchaffs the bird was hanging with yesterday was gone, and there was som good movement on goldcrests today, so a new bird is not an impossibillity.

Weather:

Mush same as yesterday, cloudy all day though, and even harder wind. In the evening from southeast.
