Thursday, May 15, 2008 - Great Snipe Dip
A Great Snipe was seen in Välen this morning. The observers suggested in their report commentaries that there might be lekking tonight, which resulted in a lot of birders going there this evening. We went to the tower, mainly because that's easiest. Reed Warblers, Lapwings and Water Rail (year tick) were heard amongst others, but no Snipe. Rounded off with a couple of minutes by the nearby river, which resulted in at least three Grasshopper Warblers and a Thrush Nightingale.

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...
