Welcome to my blog about birds, butterflies, moths and other aspects of nature that I mainly enjoy in Svartådalen – The Black River Valley, in the county Västmanland, Sweden.
This is my turf, where I love to be, where me and my family have a house (in the lovely village Fläckebo), and where I also share a lot of nature experience with visiting people from all around.

It´s amazing what a few days in the Black River area can produce if you´re a good bird photographer...like Michele Mendi from Parma, Italy.
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!
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!
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.
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.
