Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - Hårssjön and Brudarebacken
Took a trip to Hårssjön this morning. We had for example Reed Warbler, Grasshopper Warbler, Jay, Coal Tit, Little Grebe and a possible Goldfinch. Hoped half-heartedly for Marsh Warbler, Water Rail or Hobby, but they refused to show up.
 Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaecus)
Afterwards we stopped by Brudarebacken and saw a Common Buzzard at very nice distance flying pretty close to the hilltop (would have been even nicer if we had actually been on the hill and not in the parking lot below). We also had Raven, Whinchat and Goldcrest.
In an hour from now, we're leaving for Båtafjorden to check on a reported Little Egret. As some of the readers might recall, we missed a Little Egret in the very same spot by a few hours in May last year. Excitement! The proper birding season is here :)

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!
