Thursday, May 15, 2008 - Nest box
I put up a nest box about two hours ago at convenient viewing distance from my balcony. Not twenty minutes later, a Pied Flycatcher arrived to inspect the estate
Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)
Since Pied Flycatchers like nest boxes to the point that they sometimes evict other birds from them, it's not very surprising, but I expected a day's time or so to pass before any birds at all showed interest. Now I'll just have to wait and see if he liked what he saw.
I put a shoutbox in the menu to the right, just above the counter. Feel free to use it! I like feedback and the post comment thingy is rather cumbersome in my opinion.

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...
