Highlights; 7th September 2008
Bluethroat (female)
Broad Billed Sandpiper/Dunlin (First calender year birds)
Arctic Skua (First calender year)
Highlights from the past week or so included a stunning juv. Broad Billed Sandpiper, my first in 20 years or so! Striking little wader with a very distinctive kinked bill and boldly marked plumage, hopefully will not have to wait so long for my next one. Also here is a juv. Arctic Skua, a big surprise on Vaxholm where I fish quite often, only had binoculars with me, would of had stunning views had I had a telescope with me.
