Thursday, January 10, 2008 - Winter city birding
Last weekend we actually had proper snow cover for more than 24 hours. Doesn't happen every year nowadays...
Worked a bit on the year tick list which went up from 18 to 36. Got a good chance to take photographs of this winter's gasometer Peregrine Falcon. Since the light was quite bad the pictures weren't much good though...
 Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus)
We also went to Jonsered to look for Kingfisher again, with no luck again... Got some more year ticks and not too great photos of Dipper.
 White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus cinclus) (North-european ssp.)
Saturday at 00:00 hours, the 'January Hunt' begins. From then until 5 PM we (team of five) will try to see as many species of birds as possible. Exciting, exhausting and probably quite a bit of rain. Afterwards there will be pizza :)

About Me
26 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden.
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!
