Sunday, May 4, 2008 - Evening trip with unexpected year tick
We set out with Great Snipe in mind this evening. There has been some activity of the sort in Halland this weekend but we got none up here. At Ragnhildsholmen, however, we heard two very early Thrush Nightingales. We also had Snipe in several places and a Green Sandpiper at Ragnhildsholmen, but nothing exciting.

I haven't yet had time to sort out yesterday's trip to Halland. Will do that as soon as I can. Got some nice pics and a rather splendid trio of lifers as well as a total of 18 year ticks.

About Me
27 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden.
Last year we twitched for year ticks. I ended up with 250 which is more than I had lifers when the year started. This year I'll go fairly easy on the year ticks (Though anything under 200 is shameful) but will instead aim for 300 life ticks in Sweden. A task and a half probably...
