More and more amazing shots are being taken from our new, floating photo hide. The Black tern flock by Stefan Oscarsson or the White-tailed eagle and Little gull by Jan Pedersen. Or Daniel Pettersson´s portraits of Black Terns.

The dragonfly season has at least started a bit up here in the cold north. Yesterday I found Yellow-spotted Whiteface on a new site but didn´t get any good pics (just semi-blurr) of the only male I saw. However plenty of Black-tailed Skimmers and 4-spot Chasers. No Hawkers yet on this excellent Hawker site! I saw a Hairy Hawker take a Brilliant Emerald the other day on the same island though. Pictures above!

Sweden´s 2.nd Great Knot (Calidris tenuirostris) caused a megatwitch at Hjälstaviken where it showed for a good part of the afternoon and evening. Hundreds of bird enthusiasts took the chance to see it.

Must come back to my blogging now when the most intense guiding season is over. To start with we had a great Upland´s trip with a lovely bunch of 17 brits through Naturetrek. Have a look at the pix and you see what I mean.
