Thursday, October 18, 2007 - The feeder is up
The winter feeding has now officially begun. The day after I put the equipment out there were a load of Tree sparrows, Blue tits and Great tits. After scattering some bread on the ground outside I also got Blackbird, Fieldfare and for a moment or two a pair of Redwings. Last winter's feeder list also included Nuthatch, Robin, Greenfinch and Pheasant. In November, we're moving to a new apartment where there's a lot of park forest just outside. We also have a balcony there, so the feeding project will probably be a bit more ambitious. When we went to inspect the new house last weekend, in 30 minutes I found 8 Great Spotted Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Robin, Great tit, Blue tit, Siskins and a Goldcrest.

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.
