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.

July, 2025
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.
June, 2025
There is a new global standard (AviList) and I have tried to update the names of bird to adhere to it.
March, 2025
With the relocation finalised and with Spring arriving with the early migratory birds, at last a bit more time for birding.
2024, May 27 – June 7- Brantevik & Österlen
Spent two weeks in Brantevik and visited numerous surroundings for walks and bird sights.
May, 2024, the first half
An early May update as I’m going on a birding trip. May has treated us well with the last eight days on +20 C and ony a single night with frost.
April,2024
A typical (?) April with hope for Spring as well as snow and rain. The pollen season is also here, ruining a number of intended excursions for me.
September, 2023
After all the rain that fell in July and August, September has been dry and warm and mosquito infested. Not good for birding, but the insect eating birds should have hopes for the future.

Enjoyed a beautiful two early summer weeks in Brantevik, Österlen.
May, 2023
At last, the real Spring is here. I will leave for a birding excursion in the south of Sweden in a couple of days, so this entry will not completely cover May.
