So practically in the middle of nowhere, after a skidoo-ride on 20 miles plus, we finally encounter one of Sweden´s most hard to see-birds. This southernmost part of the Scandinavian Sibetit population is an outcrop from the rest up in the far north, a bit like a satellite to the main population. A somewhat worrying aspect with an uncertain future of course. Anyway, last years expeditions have failed to see this bird in and even north of this area. Hence this is a most extraordinary find. It´s also on a new, previously unknown site and in such a beautiful setting, so far out in the wilderness.
And here they are, just an arms length away from us. What a meating! And what a lovely, furry, little arctic bird.
