Wolfhowl in moonlight
18:th of September 2010
Tonight we find the wolves on a new site and we get to hear their amazing sound in the most terrific circumstances, no wind, stars and moonlight. Magical! All courtesy of skillful guiding by Marcus - the king of the forest!

Brilliant Crane evening
16:th of September 2010
Today around 30 people enjoy one of the most brilliant Crane-evenings at Lake Fläcksjön I´ve experienced in recent years. At least 490 Cranes are counted and a majority of them pass really fine on the lakeside south of us in good light. They also land for night quarters in the lake right in front of us. Brilliant!
Cranes on bogs
15:th of September 2010
Tonight I find out that some 300 Cranes are spending the night at one of the bogs on the forest. A wild, scenic habitat with a lot of ambience and acoustic quality. On the way there I flush 2 Capercaillie females, 1 male Black Grouse and on the way back a Long-eared Owl passes really close to my windshield on the car. The Cranes offer great views as they pass the ascending half moon.

Arrival of Geese
4:th of September 2010
Hjälstaviken is even more impressing today with it´s thousands of Geese in the air. A cuple of thousand Tundra Bean Geese, as many Greylags, some 500 Barnacles and today we find no less than 32 Lesser Whitefronts. Yesterday there was one!
White-tailed Eagles are raiding them most of the time. At least 6 individuals seen.

First Vapourer
29:th of August 2010
On a mushroom-picking walk in the forest, a rufous Moth comes flying and before I know it lands right in front of me: A Vapourer! Unmistakable with it´s "sad eye" pattern on the back. An interesting species I´ve had on my mind for some time. The female is flightless and builds a cocoon where she lays her eggs on a soft bed of "anal wool". How about that?

Wolf in Frövisjön
23:rd of August 2010
Two birdwatchers got a real surprise today when they spotted a Wolf in the wetlands of Lake Frövisjön outside Skultuna. The Wolf stayed in view for as long as 30 minutes. The animal is a probable 1-year-old male wandering around, looking for a mate and a territory. There´s been a lot of observations in the Black River area this summer. Some livestock casualties as well. Photo: Ulf Broberg.
