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.

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

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.
