    Green Listing 2022 - Joint Thread

    We finally moved into our new home, so green sightings from now on should be ok? !!!! We live in Blekinge county, about 30 kms from the coast, SE Sweden. We have a guest house, so birders, and others, are welcome.

    Fair comment. Though the sighting was about a month after we arrived. How long one has to stay in a country to qualify as a Green sighting, I don't know! Anyway we are buying a house so I think sightings can be Green from now on, if that is acceptable!!

    It has been cold at night but beautiful sunny days, up to 20C. There is a much more dramatic Spring here, the tree go from nothing to full leaf in 3 weeks! Quite beautiful beech woods, as well as birch, oak and ash. And a few fir trees!

    My wife and I drove to Sweden. Only 3,200 kms! We are here to see if we like it enough to stay. Having a Swedish wife might tip the decision! It is very different here, many more trees of course so plenty of woodpeckers of course.

    I have just added Black grouse which I couldn't see on the list for Europe. I am on a long holiday in SE Sweden, hence the sighting!

    Several nightingales have been singing for the last few days. Spring is really here!

    Lots of swifts overhead yesterday. Certainly one of them was a Pallid

    We had 3 flocks of Bee-eaters pass over the house this morning. A nice sight, and sound

    The strong wind has eased a bit, so I was pleased to see a Short toed eagle over my house yesterday.

    I have been told that Black kites have been seen here. Today I finally saw a few.

    Quite right, Richard! And today we saw a hoopoe, a hint of Spring in the air.

    I heard a hoopoe today, when we were out with the horse and carriage.

    I saw a robin at my bird bath today, the first of the year. They are surprisingly rare around here. I see that it is already on the Europe list, which hardly surprising!!

    Yesterday I finally saw a Little owl, which has been absent for a while, but is already on the list. Also saw a single swallow, struggling in the strong wind. I don't think it is on the Europe list?

    It was total luck. I stepped outside last night to look at the stars, and heard the owl. You will probably beat me to something else!

    I have just heard an Eagle owl. Does hearing, but not seeing, count?

    We had an outing on our Green transport today and were lucky to see the Stone curlews which hang around here.
