Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - No Little Egret
The Little Egret at Båtafjorden had apparently moved on or found a good hiding place before we got there, so we didn't see it. Year ticked Corn Crake though and had for example Shoveler, Garganey, Ruff, Spotted Redshank, Marsh Harrier and Sedge Warbler, so the time there was well spent at least.
Edit: right now, 21:43, the damn bird was reported some distance west of where we were. Silly :(

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...
