Reaching 300 bird species is the classic milstone for Swedish birders. It's also reflecting the name of the organisation for Swedish bird tickers, Club 300. This was a challenge for most birders but the developing of supportive tools have made it a lot easier. Instead 400 have become the big focus instead and even a few of the Swedish top birders start see 500 as a possible task.
This was the obvious target for me and 27 April 2015 it happened when I got this picture of a Three-toed Woodpecker in Västmanland.
