Saturday, June 2, 2007 - Another day, another flycatcher
Helped leading an excursion for children in Slottsskogen today. We saw Wood Warbler, male Common Redstart and both the Firecrests. We also ringed a litter of Blue Tits.
 Blue Tit, about two weeks old and an infertile egg.
As I came home I got a text message about Collared Flycatcher in Gothenburg, the first one in about ten years. Had to clean the apartment first, but then we went for it. It moved around a lot but sang loud and clear so we heard it for about ten minutes before we saw it. In the Gothenburg area that tick has almost as much dignity as the Nightingale. :)

About Me
27 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden.
Last year we twitched for year ticks. I ended up with 250 which is more than I had lifers when the year started. This year I'll go fairly easy on the year ticks (Though anything under 200 is shameful) but will instead aim for 300 life ticks in Sweden. A task and a half probably...
