Thursday, July 5, 2007 - Nice new life tick
A Bee-eater was seen a couple of days ago in Torslandaviken and adjacent areas. My usual twitching crew were on location almost within the hour.
Bee-eaters aren't known for their patience, but this one was held in place by moderate but steady rain, so quite a lot of people got there in time. After we left it went back to Torslandaviken and was also seen there the next day.
I got a decent picture, but the computer I'm using right now doesn't want to speak to my camera, so it'll have to wait.

Thursday, July 12, 2007 - Tired of rain now |

Bloody British summer weather. Bloody Red-breasted Goose and bloody archipelago. Bloody Roger who went out there in the rain. This summer has a lot to prove as far as I'm concerned.
But the Bee-eater was nice! |

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...
