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

January, 2025
A mostly overcast, dreary month. We had freezing temperatures and snow at the beginning, but since the 7th it’s melted and rained away. I’ve been on two outings, one with the Tuesday club and one with Biofoto, the latter focusing on grey herons. Otherwise mainly been busy with upcoming relocation.
October, 2023
Month cut short as my camera was recalled for repairs by Nikon for issues I never experienced. But better safe than sorry. Just got it back.
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.
March, 2022
The sunniest March ever with minimal rain/snow and with Spring approaching. An increasing number of larger migratory birds, but the smaller ones have mostly avoided my camera this far.
February, 2022
Another pretty miserable month but with a good number of days with fair weather.
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.
First half of August, 2021
A quiet month this far – awaiting a trip to Österlen in the south of Sweden.
June, 2021
After that drab May, June has been very warm for Sweden. Often too hot for both me and the birds. With 35% of adult Swedes now vaccinated and the virus retreating, I hope the bird hikes will soon pick up again.
