I went over to the Wyre Forest yesterday but struck out on virtually most of the birds I was hoping for. I did add two new year birds though.

95. Pied Flycatcher
96. Dipper.
 
Been very frustrated birding for a week. People have found cool birds, I looked for a non-singing worm-eating warbler with a group for 30 minutes and gave up. It's from my pre-eBird days that I found one in Missouri, and I do not have a date to put it under. I do have that location and year.

192 Acadian Flycatcher Wilderness Park--S. 14th St. west
193 Tennessee Warbler Wilderness Park--S. 14th St. west
194 Mourning Warbler Wilderness Park--14th Street pond
195 Yellow-billed Cuckoo Wilderness Park US-NE
196 Alder Flycatcher
 
Four more in the past 3 days, including a rather rare bird for Sweden (and a silly moment for myself!)

202. European Honey Buzzard
203. Icterine Warbler
204. Black-winged Stilt
205. Garganey

I saw the Stilt and Garganey this morning, though I made a mistake with the Swedish translations and instead of twitching the hoped for Stilt Sandpiper (which would have been a World lifer!) I ended up twitching a Black-winged Stilt instead... Felt a little stupid, but Stilt is a fantastic bird for Sweden, so that's a silver lining.
 
206. Bluethroat
207. Eurasian Hobby
208. Spotted Flycatcher

Today at the northern tip of Öland on a failed River Warbler twitch.
 
Migration is winding down and new birds are getting harder to find. Only one addition to the Year List today.

316. Black-billed Cuckoo

Dave
 
197 Olive-sided flycathcher
198. Worm-eating warbler
199. Cerulean warbler
200. White-eyed vireo
201. Louisiana Waterthrush
202. Red-shouldered hawk

Some birds from Missouri. Meanwhile, I missed 3 days of a fantastic fallout at home
 
This morning I went to a neighboring county to chase a rarity that was found two days ago. I quickly and easily found my target.

319. Sedge Wren

It was a state lifer (number 289), my fourth of the year.

We have then here twice a year, on their way North and back. They linger quite a while in August and sing while here.
 
Going back to 197 I had missed a bird

197. Henslow's Sparrow
198. Olive-sided flycathcher
199. Carolina chickadee
200. Worm-eating warbler
201. Cerulean warbler
202. White-eyed vireo
203. Louisiana Waterthrush
204. Red-shouldered hawk
205. Magnolia Warbler
206. Western grebe
 
One more on my dog walk. I'm surprised it has taken so long to see one. I have heard dozens but none of them showed until today.

97. Green Woodpecker.
 
A few from the NSG Kleinenberg, just south of Paderborn:

85 Common Raven
86 Common House Martin
87 Marsh Warbler
88 Black Stork
