Return to West Hyde

A return visit to the arable fields west of West Hyde Village provided the following species of note:-
Eurasian Hobby (1), Red Kite (1), Common Swift (2), Common Skylark (6), Corn Bunting (2), Common Whitethroat (1). I then visited Troy Mill Gravel Pit where a pair of Common Goldeneye remain while overhead c30 Swift busily fed on the wing. A Common Kingfisher put in the briefest of appearances while from the Crack Willows 2 Garden Warbler and a Chiffchaff sang. On leaving a singing male Grey Wagtail was noted on wires above the weir near the marble and granite centre and may well have a nest nearby.

Corn Bunting at West Hyde

I received a message from Chris Bessant yesterday informing me that she had found a Corn Bunting on the arable land west of West Hyde Village. So today I made my way to West Hyde and began to walk along footpath number 4 that now follows a dirt road leading to the new quarry and Shire Lane. Some hundred yards or so on I began to hear the distinctive song of the Corn Bunting and eventually located the bird sitting on a fence post as it sang. A rather dumpy looking bird sporting a diagnostic dark spot on its chest indicating worn plumage. A fantastic find and my first locally for about 25 years. Other species of note included Common Skylark (6 singing male), Sedge Warbler (1), Common Whitethroat (singing male), Common Linnet (singing male).

Sweden in Spring final day

Observers: Paul Lewis, Steve Carter, Daniel Green, Ian Currie, Vibeke Moeller, Flemming Moeller, Bridget Gregory, Peter Wilson, Brenda Wilson.

Our final day in Sweden and our last chance to catch up with Capercaillie and Hazel Grouse so we had organised with Daniel an early morning visit to the forest and upland bog. On arrival we slowly drove along the forest track searching for signs of Grouse and anything of  interest. With not much about we left the vehicle and Daniel briefly played the call of Hazel Grouse. It was immediately answered and a few minutes later a male bird flew across the track giving the briefest of views. Fortunately it then flew into a conifer and showed well for a minute or two giving me time to take in this small but plump Grouse adding another lifer to my list. We then visited the nearby upland bog where several Black Grouse were heard calling although they did not show. In the canopy of the forest Crested Tit, Redwing, Brambling and Goldcrest were all heard singing while the resident Ravens were agitated by something unseen to us. Then while driving back along the forest track I had the briefest of glimpses of a pale looking wolf it’s thick long coat evident before it disappeared into cover. We then made our way back to Salbohed Garden for breakfast before packing our luggage ready for our journey back to Arlanda Airport. En route we stopped off at Forbijob wetlands where a single Red-necked Grebe and up to 9 Slavonian Grebe all in breeding plumage were observed. Among the commoner waders a beautiful Spotted Redshank fed in the shallows and nearby 2 singing Eurasian Wryneck were heard. Then after speaking to a few local birders Daniel alerted us to the fact that an American visited had arrived at this wetland. A few minutes later we were viewing a lovely drake American Wigeon that was feeding on the far side of the lake. Then we moved on making the briefest of stops to view a lovely Long-eared Owl at the nest and reel of a few shots. We all then returned to the vehicle and headed off to Torslunda Quarry where a wonderful male Ortolan Bunting was observed, my last lifer of the trip. It was then time to return to the airport, say our goodbyes and head off back to London Heathrow.
A full list of species observed as follows:-
Red-necked Grebe, Great-crested Grebe, Slavonian Grebe, Grey Heron, Whooper Swan, Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Eurasian Wigeon, American Wigeon, Common Teal, Gadwall, Mallard, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Common Goldeneye, Western Marsh Harrier, Common Buzzard, Black Grouse (calling), Hazel Grouse, Common Pheasant, Eurasian Coot, Common Crane, Northern Lapwing, Golden Plover, Common Redshank, Spotted Redshank, Wood Sandpiper, Eurasian Woodcock, Little Gull, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Herring Gull, Common Tern, Woodpigeon, Common Cuckoo, Long-eared Owl, Eurasian Wryneck, Green Woodpecker, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Barn swallow, Sand Martin, Tree Pipit, White Wagtail, Wren, Dunnock, European Robin, Common Blackbird, Fieldfare, Song Thrush, Redwing, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat, Common Whitethroat, Willow Warbler, Goldcrest, Pied Flycatcher, Willow Tit, Crested Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Eurasian Nuthatch, Common Starling, Common Magpie, Western Jackdaw, Common Raven, Hooded Crow, Tree Sparrow, House Sparrow, Common Chaffinch, Eurasian Siskin, European Greenfinch, Common Linnet, Northern Bullfinch, Yellowhammer, Ortolan Bunting, Reed Bunting,

Sweden in Spring Day 3

Observers: Paul Lewis, Steve Carter, Daniel Green, Michael Rhonnstad, Ian Currie, Vibeke Moeller, Flemming Moeller, Bridget Gregory, Peter Wilson, Brenda Wilson.
Our main focus today was to try and catch up with the woodpeckers of the Black River Valley and our guide for the morning and afternoon was Michael Rhonnstad. Our primary targets were Black, Three-toed and Grey-headed Woodpeckers. We were also on the hunt for any grouse species with Hazel Grouse our main priority. So after an early breakfast we were off out to the forested areas of the Black River Valley. At our first stop we managed to locate a calling male Hazel Grouse but despite Michael’s best efforts to entice the bird into more open habitat it did not show. So we then turned our attention to Three-toed Woodpecker. We slowly walked our way through some excellent habitat, dead or dying wet coniferous forest. The trees had been attacked by a species of beetle which so happened to be on the woodpeckers menu. It was very quite and still and several species of moss carpeted the rocky forest floor. After a few minutes of searching I suddenly heard the familiar tapping noise of a woodpecker coming from nearby. Panning around with my bins I focused on a small bird excavating a nest hole on the trunk of a medium sized conifer and it was then that I realised I had actually found a wonderful male Three-toed Woodpecker. It busily chipped away at the newly excavated hollow oblivious of it’s human admirers. After reeling off many shots with the camera myself and the rest of the group moved on to an area of open forest. Ideal habitat for Black and Grey-headed Woodpecker Michael mimicked their calls but we only caught up with the commoner Black Woodpecker. A female Common Goldeneye flew past and disappeared into an old woodpecker nest hole that looked far too small for it to ever successfully enter, but it did so with no effort. Then while making our way through an area of birch Brenda unknowingly flushed a nesting Eurasian Woodcock and we quickly photographed the nest and eggs within before moving on. I was on form today because shortly afterwards I located a pair of Red-backed Shrike and a lone Spotted Flycatcher. En route back to the hotel we visited the nearby church where a singing male Thrush Nightingale performed well. We then returned to our hotel for an afternoon rest before eating a superb dinner. Daniel then met us and we all headed off to a nearby quarry in search of the majestic Northern Eagle Owl. My good form continued and I managed to locate the male bird resting high up among the quarried gravel. Daniel then challenged us to find the nesting female but despite our best efforts we failed abysmally. He pointed us towards some large blue machinery and it was here that the female was resting quite happily on her nest. Apparently with the machinery on and workers busily moving about only a few feet away she is quite content and unperturbed. We then returned briefly to the forest to view Pygmy Owl and Eurasian Woodcock before visiting the wetlands at dusk. Here Wood and Green Sandpipers could be heard with the unmistakable boom of the Great Bittern erupting from the reeds across the valley.
A full list of species observed as follows:-
Black-throated Diver (pair), Great-crested Grebe, Great Bittern, Whooper Swan, Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Mallard, Northern Shoveler, Common Goldeneye, Common Kestrel, Eurasian Hobby, Hazel Grouse (calling), Common Crane, Northern Lapwing, Eurasian Curlew, Green Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper, Common Snipe, Eurasian Woodcock, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Common Tern, Woodpigeon, Common Cuckoo, Northern Eagle Owl, Pygmy Owl, Eurasian Wryneck, Black Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Three-toed Woodpecker, Eurasian Skylark, Barn Swallow, Tree Pipit, Meadow Pipit, White Wagtail, Wren, Dunnock, European Robin, Thrush Nightingale, Common Redstart, Whinchat, Northern Wheatear, Common Blackbird, Fieldfare, Song Thrush, Redwing, Mistle Thrush, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat, Wood Warbler, Willow Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher, Pied Flycatcher, Marsh Tit, Willow Tit, Crested Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Common Treecreeper, Eurasian Nuthatch, Red-backed Shrike (2 pairs), Common Starling, Common Magpie, Western Jackdaw, Common Raven, Hooded Crow, Tree Sparrow, Common Chaffinch, Eurasian Siskin, European Greenfinch, Lesser Redpoll, European Goldfinch, Northern Bullfinch, Yellowhammer, Common Reed Bunting.

Sweden in Spring Day 2

Our hotel the Salbohed Garden lies among an area of mixed woodland with nest boxes erected for Owls, Flycatchers and tits strategically placed. An early morning walk among the woodland with Steve before breakfast produced several Pied Flycatcher including a female collecting nest material while the male bird looked on. Then as we approached a few nesting Western Jackdaw a large woodpecker appeared on the trunk of a mature tree, my first ever Black Woodpecker. Then I heard a familiar song, that of the Wood Warbler and I eventually found it in the canopy overhead. After breakfast we headed off as a group towards the Black River Valley. Stopping off at a nearby wetland we were treated to the wonderful song of the Thrush Nightingale, another new species. A few minutes later the male bird was observed as it sang in the lower branches of a small birch. Then we visited the nearby woodland where more delights were in store including Crested Tit and Pygmy Owl, both lifers. Among the conifers several Common Crossbill were observed and a European Moose put in a brief appearance. During our lunch break a White-tailed Eagle was observed in flight although distant but this was yet another lifer. We then met with a local ringer who was conducting survey work on a few occupied owl nest boxes. The first box visited was that of a Tawny Owl and the female bird was caught expertly before the box was scrutinised for any sign of breeding. Inside lay 2 very small young only a few days old. The female bird was then given the once over offering photographic opportunities before being released. The second box visited belonged to that of  Ural Owl and we were warned that the female inside would probably leave the box once approached. This is an aggressive species and we were told to hit the deck if the bird attacked. Fortunately although very flighty the female bird on leaving the nest box eventually landed in a tree only a few feet above my head. On inspection of the box 2 very small young were noted and we departed the area rapidly. Another Ural Owl box was inspected the female bird very calm and was handled by the ringer as if a pet. This too had a couple of small young suggesting a successful breeding season lies ahead. A wonderful experience for all and yet another addition to my life list. After dinner we headed off out in search of Great Grey Owl and were treated to views of a female bird present at a nest. This massive owl dwarfed its nest and looked uncomfortable as it sat brooding probable eggs. I managed to reel off a few shots of this welcome lifer before we moved off for a coffee break. While drinking tea and coffee and watching a wonderful Pygmy Owl 2 European Wolf suddenly appeared in the road ahead of us. One of the animals was sporting a radio collar and it paused to look back at us before moving on into the darkness. We then drove back to our hotel but not before flushing a female Black Grouse, my final lifer of the day.

Red-throated Diver, Great-crested Grebe, Grey Heron, Whooper Swan, Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Eurasian Wigeon, Common Teal, Garganey, Gadwall, Mallard, Northern Shoveler, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Common Goldeneye, Goosander (1 over), Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Western Marsh Harrier, White-tailed Eagle, Eurasian Hobby, Black Grouse, Common Crane, Northern Lapwing, Ruff, Whimbrel, Common Greenshank, Green Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper, Common Snipe, Eurasian Woodcock, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Common Tern, Woodpigeon, Feral Rock Dove, Common Cuckoo, Tawny Owl, Ural Owl, Great Grey Owl, Pygmy Owl, Eurasian Wryneck, Black Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Woodlark, Eurasian Skylark, Barn Swallow, Tree Pipit, White Wagtail, Yellow Wagtail, Wren, Thrush Nightingale, Common Redstart, Whinchat, Northern Wheatear, Common Blackbird, Fieldfare, Song Thrush, Redwing, Mistle Thrush, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat, Wood Warbler, Willow Warbler, Pied Flycatcher, Marsh Tit, Willow Tit, Crested Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Common Treecreeper, Eurasian Nuthatch, Common Starling, Eurasian Jay, Common Magpie, Western Jackdaw, Common Raven, Hooded Crow, Tree Sparrow, Common Chaffinch, Eurasian Siskin, European Greenfinch, European Goldfinch, Northern Bullfinch, Common Crossbill, Yellowhammer.
