Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - Good trip to Halland.
Three life ticks during a day in Halland is not bad, but I could have gotten more if the weather had been better. Tundra Swan, Red Kite and Bearded Reedling could have been accompanied on my list by for example Hen Harrier, Golden Eagle and Rough-legged Buzzard had there been less wind, less drizzle and more thermals. Had also hoped for Snow Bunting and Shorelark, and there were probably larks in one spot, but they proved impossible to see from the tower and part of the road was flooded.
Tomorrow there will be an attempt for Three-toed Woodpecker again and also a visit to this winter's best Bittern spot.

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!
