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.

With the relocation finalised and with Spring arriving with the early migratory birds, at last a bit more time for birding.
Summer and Fall, 2024
My seven months old Windows computer died early September and was returned for service. After almost three months without the repairs getting completed, I received a new one through the guarantee. (Don’t ask me about my experience trying to have a dialogue with support!) My other excuse for not posting here is that we’ve been busy since early August trying to find an apartment so we can sell our house. It’s now finalized, even though the actual move is a couple of months away.
2024-05 Österlen de luxe revisited
Favorit i repris, en fågelexkursion i Skåne i slutet av maj. Det blev en härlig tripp med många identifierade arter (drygt 130) och fem nya bildkryss till min samling. Som vanligt blev detingen bild på Sommargyllingen, men vi hörde den igen.

A bit early post this month, but I doubt I will have time for more during the last week.
December & January, 2023-24
A cold and dark period with lots of snow and ice. It has not encouraged bird photography in general. Also, my computer died after a period of riduclously bad performance, making it enervating to edit photos. But now, with a new modern computer equipped to handle this, I’m good to go again.
July, 2023
A month that started out windy with a trip to the island of Gotland. Continued relatively cool with a stay at Färingsö and ended with heavy rains.
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.
January, 2023
Not much happening this time of the year. Lakes are often frozen over and many species are on vacation in warmer climate.
August, 2022
A month that stareted out very hot, humid and sunny and ended as Fall with cool temperatures and showers. Very few insects this summer, meaning certain birds have had food issues. A the bird flu has taken its toll too.
