On monday we went to Hönö in the morning to get the materials for the shelter together and transport it and the constructed sections to the location to get it ready for assembly. A very hot day, a lot of board and plank carrying. At last the helicopter came and carried all the equipment and materials in four lifts in less than an hour. Very practical.
The purpose of the shelter is to protect sea-bird watchers from wind and weather on an island west of Gothenburg. A shelter was built there in 1993 but it can only take 10 or so people, so we're adding another, large one and connecting them.

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...
