Just a bit of fun...
Forgot to write on Saturday that we're off to the south of Sweden tomorrow so I won't be posting any pictures on Saturday.
We'll travel to Lake Tåkern first (Bearded Reedlings, Marsh Harriers and maybe Bitterns) and then spend the night there. More Lake Tåkern in the morning then off to Helsingborg where my sister-in-law lives.
We'll spend 5 days there. Highlights will, I hope, include Red Kites, White Storks and Avocets.

For anyone who wonders, I checked this morning and there was a Common Crane on the nest. 👍
