Tuesday, March 3, 2009 - Return from hibernation
Due to my managing to keep the same substitute job for three straight months there hasn't been much room for birdwatching and even less for blogging this year.
Only three lifers so far, but that's only what to expect considering the torrent of ticks over the past two or so years. The year tick count on the other hand is at 102 which is rather high seeing as I'm only half trying.
Hopefully, my recent return to unemployment means a little more time for birds, but pressing matters such as upcoming ornithological society AGM:s and whatnot will put a lid on excessive field hours :)

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...
