Thursday, October 18, 2007 - The feeder is up
The winter feeding has now officially begun. The day after I put the equipment out there were a load of Tree sparrows, Blue tits and Great tits. After scattering some bread on the ground outside I also got Blackbird, Fieldfare and for a moment or two a pair of Redwings. Last winter's feeder list also included Nuthatch, Robin, Greenfinch and Pheasant. In November, we're moving to a new apartment where there's a lot of park forest just outside. We also have a balcony there, so the feeding project will probably be a bit more ambitious. When we went to inspect the new house last weekend, in 30 minutes I found 8 Great Spotted Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Robin, Great tit, Blue tit, Siskins and a Goldcrest.

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...
