Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - Good trip to Halland.
Three life ticks during a day in Halland is not bad, but I could have gotten more if the weather had been better. Tundra Swan, Red Kite and Bearded Reedling could have been accompanied on my list by for example Hen Harrier, Golden Eagle and Rough-legged Buzzard had there been less wind, less drizzle and more thermals. Had also hoped for Snow Bunting and Shorelark, and there were probably larks in one spot, but they proved impossible to see from the tower and part of the road was flooded.
Tomorrow there will be an attempt for Three-toed Woodpecker again and also a visit to this winter's best Bittern spot.

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...
