Thanks! Rare bird alert so there were people from all over Sweden coming to look for the bird. Many people watching for the bird. This was not my first day looking for the birds.

I walk along the sewage plant ponds towards the bird watchers and I discover the bird 2 meters from the walk path So I was very lucky

Thanks! I was at least to say lucky. I had been here before without any luck. Earlier in the morning I had been looking for the Rackelhahn and I met 2 bird watchers that told me to look in the eastern most ponds.

And I ran in to the bird just next to the walk way

Thanks! Yes, I was very lucky. To see the bird just next to me walking towards the other bird watchers looking at the other side of the pond

Thank you! I was very happy, but the sun disappeared when I arrived to the eBird hotspot to have a look for the bird. But it was OK even without the sun.
