A trip with “Tisdagsklubben” to the south of the Öland island in the middle of the migration season. A wonderful trip, that yielded ten new “bildkryss” (species).

Can’t see it? You will need to click the picture to get to the larger version. Then zoom in as much as possible. And with a bit of imagination, you may see it in the second row, just behind the approximately seventh Barnacle goose from the right. There’s just a glimpse of a stripe (an S-form) on the head. I did not see it the time, but took a lot of photos and this is the only one where I think I captured it.

Verkar som du haft en mycket bra resa.
Härliga bilder i vanlig ordning
Gillade särskilt sparvhöken, havsörnen och den fina bilden på slutet med ejdern, vid ett hastigt påseende och lätt skumögd hade man nästan kunnat ta den för en Liljefors…
Ha´re!
