At last a bit more active birding this month. Apart from the home areas, I went out with Henrik W on an excursion to the outer northern Stockholm archipelago and then visited a few birding sites in the Leksand area.
Tag: Sparvhök (Accipiter nisus; Eurasian sparrowhawk)
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.

Spring is slowly advancing and the first batch of migratory birds have arrived.

A bit early post this month, but I doubt I will have time for more during the last week.
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.
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.
The Öland trip, 2022-10-06–09
A trip with “Tisdagsklubben” to the south of the Öland island in the middle of the migration season. A wonderful trip, that yielded eleven new “bildkryss” (species).
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.

A wintery start of March turned into a Spring (almost), at least occasionally. I have seen he first returning and northward bound birds.
