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.

March, 2025

With the relocation finalised and with Spring arriving with the early migratory birds, at last a bit more time for birding.

November, 2023

Things are slow this time of year. A few courageous species will be fighting the winter instead of migrating. And this was another month rich in precipation, the last couple of days in the form of snow.

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.

June (the remainder), 2023

A busy month concludes with grand kid duties at lake Yxningen and trips around that area as well as some birding around home.

2023-05-25–28 Österlen deluxe

A luxury four day trip to beautiful Österlen with single room accomodation and breakfast + dinner included. Led by Henrik W, we observed around 135 bird species, but I was of course not able to photograph them all. And as usual, some of the ones I did get, are not identifyable by the image – you’ll have to trust us.

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.

February, 2023

The Tuesday club has started up and I’ve been on a trip up north as well as brought the camera out bit more.

June, 2022

A good month for capturing new species. I went on two boat exceusrions into the Stockholm archipelago and a family trip to Tuscany, Italy. The latter was a holiday, so I did not bring the serious camera gear, meaning the bird photos suffered. Sadly, I dd not get a shot of the Eurasian Scops Owl (Dvärguv), but we heard it every night.
