I am! My wife and I drove from Spain, in April, only 3,500 kms! Just before Xmas I got my Swedish residence permit, because I am married to a Swedish citizen. At the moment we have 3 inches of snow but it won't last.

How I'd love to have this on my garden list. I have only ever seen one in the county, let alone in my garden!

Very quiet so far best of heard only Grey Partridge, and reat Spotted Woodpecker seen. Was puzzled the other morning had some ducks going over in the pitch black calling and was a bit baffled until I worked out it was a mixed group of Mallard and Teal flying over together calling.TheTeal are far less than annual so a decent year tick. Probably would benefit from having 10 minutes in the garden every morning before work, but it kills me to get up early as it is.

Rocketing towards the big 2 0 here at the squat:
17 Grey Heron
18 Green Woodpecker
Despite the more built up setting here I can scan the mountains overlooking the town, no birds seen up there so far but four Chamois up on a ridge enjoying the lack of snow yesterday is encouraging, maybe a Golden Eagle will wander by
Late morning edit: There must be a Goshawk in the pines across the river as the crows have been going bonkers on and off for an hour or more now, of course an Eagle Owl trying to snooze is an outside possibility! While patiently watching in the glorious sunshine for something to come out of the trees a
19 Chaffinch
flew by.
Second edit, made it to 20, a flock of five
20 Siskin
flew into some alders by the river.

Battleship grey here with gusting SWesterlies, and the light value of almost dusk.😩
…..not looking promising!
However, straining my eyes into the “dark” (16.10 pm) splash pool, watching a Robin ‘avin a barf” (local parlance, for non-English speakers), when I espied a “small zippy” thing…no.38 Goldcrest.😊
