Monday, August 13, 2007 - Right, I also got past 200
As indicated in my 'about me' text my goal for this year was to reach 200. Seemingly impossible in April when had about 140 ticks but I actually managed to do it. With extras and cherries :) Caspian Tern got the honors of being tick no 200. Nice, since Caspian Tern is only seen a few times per year at home but almost common along the east coast.
I guess it would be silly to hope for 250 before the end of the year, and I don't dare hope for 300 in a year from now, but we'll see how good the autumn gets. A load of auks, shearwaters and migrating passerines to tick.

| Yeah, and in a few weeks, with a suddenly far more mobile "neighbour", the autumn twitching could get even better... |

About Me
26 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden.
My goal for 2007 was get above 200 life-ticks. I managed 215 and the goal for 2008 was to get to 250. Right now it looks like I might get to 250 year ticks which is of course even better.
