Photo listings

Here are some new photo listings from the first half of 2024.

Glaucous gull

In January Carl and me went to Moskogens avfallsanläggning to search for a Glaucous gull that had been spotted there for a while.

Black-tailed godwit

When out on Öland in April, I noticed a wader in a puddle. Took a photo of it from the car to get a better look and directly saw it was a Black-tailed godwit. I didn’t think too much of it, until much later when looking at Artportalen, where it was mentioned as a new lifer for me. I looked back, and sure enough, it was a new one! Embarassing I didn’t notice directly.

Eurasian hoopoe

In May a hoopoe appeard in Kalmar, out on the contry side. After work I took the buss out to look at it.

Savi’s warbler

Also in May, a Savi’s warbler was singing by Kalmar dämme for a few days. I managed to record him singing.

Red-footed falcon

About a week later, a Red-footed falcon also came to Kalmar dämme, and seem to have been there for about 2-3 days. First day looked like a one-off sighting, but the next day it was spotted again, and I managed to go see it hunting after work.
