Sunday, May 4, 2008 - Evening trip with unexpected year tick
We set out with Great Snipe in mind this evening. There has been some activity of the sort in Halland this weekend but we got none up here. At Ragnhildsholmen, however, we heard two very early Thrush Nightingales. We also had Snipe in several places and a Green Sandpiper at Ragnhildsholmen, but nothing exciting.

I haven't yet had time to sort out yesterday's trip to Halland. Will do that as soon as I can. Got some nice pics and a rather splendid trio of lifers as well as a total of 18 year ticks.

About Me
26 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden.
My goal for 2007 was get above 200 life-ticks. I managed 215 and will attempt to get to 250 in 2008. A lot harder!
