Falsterbo calling

Tomorrow morning (Friday) I will fulfill an ambition - to visit Falsterbo in the autumn to watch the bird of prey migration. At around 1000 I will be collecting a few English friends from Copenhagen airport and taking the short journey across the Øresund bridge to Sweden and then south to the Falsterbo peninsula. Should be watching Honey Buzzards by late lunchtime! Recent days have seen good numbers of these raptors passing through - many at low altitude - as they make their way south for the winter. Most of the adults have already left and the last week has seen the percentage of juveniles increase. Today a Black Kite was seen, along with several Red Kites, the first real movement of Common Buzzards, a White-tailed Eagle, several Hobbies, Merlins, Peregrines and a good number of Marsh Harriers. The forecast is for pretty good weather but north-west or north-east winds. Not the best (light to moderate south-westerlies are best for raptors at Falsterbo) but, nevertheless, we should be in for a treat... Will report back on Monday!
