Phil! How the devil r u mate?
I'll ask a couple of Swedish lads and get back to you.
I'd recommend thinking bout a visit to Falsterbo, depending on when you're going. It's not long by car/bus from Malmo and there may be a few bits n bobs such as Black Woodpecker, sea duck, etc, but it's a nice area for a wander, and there's a little caff ("Falsterbogrillen") that does nice home-made daily specials, really inexpensive, and good pizza.
There may be bird news from this area too - i'll have a look, as navigating the excellent Artportalen website is easier if someone's sitting next to you to guide u through it the first time!
Cheers,
Mike ov Timp.

There's a Black-throated Thrush in the suburbs of Copenhagen at the moment; there's bit more information at: http://www.dofbasen.dk/observationer/index.php?english=yes. Failing, that I would suggest taking the S-train north to Klampenborg where the deer park there holds Black Woodpecker, both treecreepers, Hawfinch and Goshawk among others.

Hello again Phil, I've asked a mate about Malmo but he doesn't know the area. Some sp which are pretty good in the UK, are a bit more common in southern Sweden in winter such as G G Shrike, Bean Geese, Parrot Crossbill, Waxwings, etc so hopefully you'll see a few good birds wherever you go. If you're staying in CPH, beware of the toll for cars on The Bridge to Malmo, I think its about 40 Euro. The train is very cheap.
Have a great trip!
