Last light

The sun sets at around four in the afternoon this time of year, which means that dusk sets in at around three. At around two pm on birdrace Saturday, we had reached Norra Järvafältet in a faint hope to see the Yellow-browed bunting again. This didn't work out, but we still got to see a couple of species that we hadn't seen before in the day.

We spent the remainder if the day there and when the light got too low for seeing birds, we finished off with listening for them in the woods.

During the day we were pleasantly surprised to find a couple of overwintering robins. To me, they add a warm note to the cold winter. Nice!
