Black-throated Accentor

I enjoyed this video from our Swedish cousins about the 2nd ever Black-throated Accentor in that country (with NO records at all in the UK). The crowds on day two on a cold, wet and miserable day are testament to its rarity! Spot local birder Nils Kjellen with a glint in his smile.. I have yet to find out if this is the same Nils Kjellen who spends every morning at Falsterbo counting migrating birds.. (Edit: it is the same Nils Kjellen - thanks to Andreas for confirmation)

Terry, great bird, (re: the glint in the Swedish gentleman's smile, the finder?) was the film sponsored by Colgate? the well known toothpaste company or did he MacClean his teeth!!

Yes Terry, it is THE Nils Kjellen who (almost) every day counts the migrating birds at nabben, Falsterbo.
