Action birding

Birdracing means being constantly on the move. There is just no time for the long meditative waiting of your normal birding day. No, you make sure you head out with as much intelligence gathered beforehand as possible and a solid plan to make the most out of the brief daylight hours.

This year Jörgen had really made his homework and he took us to unknown places in Tullinge where he does his local patching on regular days. Some were accessible and some required more work to reach.

The Tullinge tour really paid off though and it most likely was the thing that tipped the scale to our advantage in the race and placed us third. Among the Tullinge highlights I would like to mention the Tawny Owl and a trek down an icy forest ravine to find a Dipper. Jörgen is for sure the birding Tsar of Tullinge! ;-)
