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
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...
