Friday, May 25, 2007 - Two Firecrests?
There are indications, but not exactly evidence, that there are actually two Firecrests in Slottsskogen. They might even be nesting since something that resembled mating has been observed and one Firecrest was seen carrying nest material or food for the female in its beak. Only eight cases of nesting has been reported in Sweden and one of them was Firecrest/Goldcrest hybridization, so it's a rare event if it turns out to be correct.

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!
