A bird that has been eluding me is the River Warbler. Singing males aren't that uncommon here, but for some reason I had never heard one... until now. I finally gave in. There's been a bird outside Knivsta for a few days now, and today (well, yesterday... it's past midnight now) I caved in and drove there. Since they're not that uncommon I kinda wanted to find my own one, but... eh. *shrugs*
Finding this one turned out to be exceptionally easy. Drove to the place, got out of the car (in the rain), and immediately heard the bird. Very loud thing, the only other bird I heard was an equally loud Thrush Nightingale... somehow it felt a bit anticlimactic. After five minutes I'd heard enough, I mean it's not exactly a varied song, and drove back to Uppsala. Got a Corncrake on the way home as well, nice.
