There is a new global standard (AviList) and I have tried to update the names of bird to adhere to it.

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.
March, 2024
Spring is slowly advancing and the first batch of migratory birds have arrived.
October, 2021
Many migratory birds have now left the country, but some are still on the move. We’ve had the occassional frost night, but also a number of beatiful fall days. I managed to join two of the Tuesday club outings, but now that’s closed down for the season.

Another two week trip down to Brantevik via Alvesta. Our first week was mainly chilly, windy wet, but the weather picked up and the next batch of migratory birds started to arrive. I’m especially happy for getting good images of the Nightingale.
August, 2020
A good month for waders as they are on the move south. I got two new birds on photo (Water rail and Common greenshank), and one first captured in Sweden (Great egret).
April 2020
An unusually warm April got me out in nature a lot. Temperatures peaked at 20C, but now at the end of the month there is sleet. Here in Sweden we are encouraged to enjoy nature, despite the Corona virus, but to keep social distance – perfect for birding. The Tuesday club has been postponed, as has all other events.
March, 2020
Another almost snow free winter with mild temperatures. Now, in March, I have started visiting the bird areas that are a bit more remote (but still in the wider Stockholm area). The early migrants are starting to appear.
