Monday, August 13, 2007 - Right, I also got past 200
As indicated in my 'about me' text my goal for this year was to reach 200. Seemingly impossible in April when had about 140 ticks but I actually managed to do it. With extras and cherries :) Caspian Tern got the honors of being tick no 200. Nice, since Caspian Tern is only seen a few times per year at home but almost common along the east coast.
I guess it would be silly to hope for 250 before the end of the year, and I don't dare hope for 300 in a year from now, but we'll see how good the autumn gets. A load of auks, shearwaters and migrating passerines to tick.

Sunday, August 19, 2007 - Autumn twitching |

| Yeah, and in a few weeks, with a suddenly far more mobile "neighbour", the autumn twitching could get even better... |

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...
