Thursday, July 5, 2007 - Nice new life tick
A Bee-eater was seen a couple of days ago in Torslandaviken and adjacent areas. My usual twitching crew were on location almost within the hour.
Bee-eaters aren't known for their patience, but this one was held in place by moderate but steady rain, so quite a lot of people got there in time. After we left it went back to Torslandaviken and was also seen there the next day.
I got a decent picture, but the computer I'm using right now doesn't want to speak to my camera, so it'll have to wait.

Thursday, July 12, 2007 - Tired of rain now |
| Posted by Elon |
Bloody British summer weather. Bloody Red-breasted Goose and bloody archipelago. Bloody Roger who went out there in the rain. This summer has a lot to prove as far as I'm concerned.
But the Bee-eater was nice! |

About Me

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!
