30-meterskärret, Norra Järvafältet, 7-5-2011

It was a quiet day in 30-meterskärret. Two wood sandpipers were spotted upon my arrival. Later on, lapwings and greylag geese were flying over and perching on the ground. A good chance for me to practice flight shot. Not many birder here, most of them were standing on the other side of Säbysjön for the stone curlew.
