Birding on the west coast of Sweden

Friday, August 29, 2008 - Ortolan Bunting at Brudarebacken

Posted in Local watching
Morning at Brudarebacken. Nice weather but a bit more wind early on would have chased the mosquitoes off... The Ortolan Bunting (Life tick 257) was the peak of the early morning action but later to mid-morning we had for example some Honey Buzzards, a Merlin and perhaps as many as 13 Nutcrackers, 7 of which in one flock. Also a nice Osprey with fish.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), Maraena Whitefish (Coregonus maraena)

About Me

26 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden. My goal for 2007 was get above 200 life-ticks. I managed 215 and the goal for 2008 was to get to 250. Right now it looks like I might get to 250 year ticks which is of course even better.
