Öland - Part 1

Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday I visited Öland. It is an island in the Baltic Sea, outside the east coast of Sweden. The island is very long and narrow, and the most southern part is the most interesting for birders, especially the internationally known Ottenby nature reserve with Ottenby Bird Observatory.
