Updated on 26/01/18 - total 112 species.The garden list can only get better, I just do not spend enough time there at the moment! Luckily, birds migrating north or south follow the coast and sometimes short-cut the peninsula through a gap in the Hallandåsen (a prominent ridge) and pass right over my house. We knew the house was well-situated when we bought it but the passage overhead has exceeded expectations.
