Moose on the run

26:th of January 2010
3 Moose appears in the snow across a field and I just manage to pull aside and fire a few shots. Soon after they disappear into the forest. Seem to be plenty around this winter.

Waxwings and Fieldfares

The numbers of Fieldfares and Waxwings seem to be increasing in the area. This waxwing sat in my backyard looking ab it lost and tipsy today.

Hawk Owl still present

17:th of January 2010
The Hawk Owl at Burunge, Uppland is still present when we pay a visit today. Golden- and White-tailed Eagle, plenty of Hawfinches, Crossbills, some Waxwings and tons of Fieldfares are also among today´s birds. Because of the distance and the snow we have to settle for one of last year´s Hawk Owl pictures. Courtesy of Glyn Sellors, UK.

Garden Grey Partridge

16:th of January 2010
Today me and my son Max goes to Stockholm to meet up with and interview a network of female Birdwatchers calling themselves "the Partridges" - Rapphönorna in swedish. A handful of them are out on a Birdrally with 7 other teams and they have just got reports of a Grey Partridge – their own mascot bird – in a garden nearby. Not an easy bird to see around hear and a good find even if it might be an introduced bird.

Black-throated hospitability

16:th of January 2010
It´s become time to look at the Black-throated Thrush in Duvbo, Stockholm. It´s resident in a private garden and we are welcomed in by a sign on the gate saying: "Welcome! A good observation-point for the Black-throated Thush is behind the green-house". That´s what I call hospitability! Many thanks Lotta & Georg!
