Goldcrest

Yesterday, I went to Djäkneberget to see the young Moorhens. On my way there, I heard a few Goldcrests in the forest, so I stopped to take some pictures of them.

Moday and Tuesday

I hadn't had time to upload pictures on the blog lately, but that is becouse I went out a lot the past few days. But here are some pictures from the day before yesterday:

And yesterday, I went to Stockholm. Not a lot of birds, but I really enjoyed the Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Unfortunately I didn't have more than 3-4 minutes to take pictures of them. I gladly would have standed on Sergel's Square or by the water only to watch them for an hour or so, but I couldn't. Maybe some other time...

In the evening, I went out with a few other birders to listen to birds of the night. It was a very succesful evening/night with lots of birds. We saw or heard Bittern, Black Grouse, Nightjar, a lot of Trush Nightingales, Grashopper Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Marsh Warbler, Reed Warbler, Great Reed Warbler, Quail, a few young Long-eared Owls and a Woodlark, possibly the bird with the most beautiful song in Europe. I got home at 2:15 am ^^
