My May bird photos, with exception of the “Skåne de luxe” trip. Except home grounds in Bromma and Färingsö, I visited Blidö, and the Österlen area (mainly Brantevik).

February & March, 2026
After a wintery February, Spring is intermittedly arriving and with it the first migratory birds.
January, 2026
January has been a Winter month with a decent amount of snow. For the second year in a row I attended the BioFoto Stockholm Heron outing at lake Råstasjön. A cold day, so I din not linger for very long.
August (until September 5), 2025
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.
