This site catalogs the bird species I have photographed. Most pictures are from Sweden, but some from trips abroad. It’s not really a blog, although I will add post for larger bird excursions as separate posts, I will add new bird family posts and modify existing ones only when I have a new species or better images to present.

If you wonder about the numbering of posts (bird families), it’s the order of the species according to the book “Fågelguiden, Europas och Medelhavsområdes fåglar i fält”, 2nd edition. Last in the order you will find domestic birds and birds not found in Europe.

At the bottom of this page you will find:

  • the categories (families) of birds in alphabetical order;
  • tags for each species;
  • recent posts;
  • navigation for the (numbered) order of the book.

In the top menu you can swap between this page and the “blog” page.

A note on the swenglish language used:

  • All the numbered (family) posts provide bird names in Swedish, Latin and English (thanks to Wikipedia).
  • The excursion post are currently in Swedish only.
  • As a non-native English speaker I have probably got a few things mixed up, feel free to comment on such.

    This month included a shorter trip to lake Yxningen for a crayfish party and two weeks in Österlen in the south of Sweden. I will have to apologize for the quality of some pictures as I had the camera on people identification after I photographed the soccer team of one of the grandkids. Changed it to bird id as soon as I noticed, but e.g. the Common shelduck, Wood sandpipers, Sparrow hawk and Western marsh harrier didn’t turn out as expected.

    The main event this month was a two week trip to the island of Gotland. The weather was by far the warmest and sunniest this summer, make bird excursions a drag.
