Two Wolf encounter

Last weekend a happy British group from Naturetrek saw two Wolves on a forest track in Västmanland. An amazing encounter and this (presumably younger) Wolf lingered on the track for a while offering some pictures in the poor evening light. Photo by Steve Carter. Thank you Steve!

Lynx at dawn

Photographer Thomas Luther just came across this Lynx one early morning in the Black River Valley last week. Amazing encounter, amazing pictures. Thank you for sharing Thomas!

Even more Wolf

And the first sighting produced several excellent shots shared by Tim Munsey. Thank´s Tim! The beast was chasing a Greylag Goose.

More Wolf

These wolf pictures where taken from our Black Grouse hide by Daniel Andersson last week 2 nights after the first sighting. This time it was closer to the Grouse, obviously trying to sneak up on the leking party.

Capercaillies at lek

We´ve had a busy season photographing leking Capercaillies. It´s been a late year and now things seem to come to a climax. These pictures where taken by amateur photographer (but professional guide) Mike Rhonnstad 28:th of April. We´ll see tomorrow night again how activity is.

Dowitcher at Asköviken

A Dowitcher sp. in summer plumage was discovered by Niclas Lignell at Asköviken today. The question is Long-billed? or Short-billed? or even Asian Dowitcher? These pictures where taken by Göran Ljunggren. see more of his excellent work on trut.se

Wolf on Black Grouse lek

This Wolf conveniently paraded in front of three happy, british photographers at 8´o clock this morning. They where ready and steady taking pictures on leking Black Grouse from our Grouse hide when the wolf came out of the vegetation and started to hunt a Greylag Goose. (splash splash). Pictures by Tim Munsey.
