Ånnsjön part 1/2 - In Great Snipe territory

I got home from my trip to Lake Ånnsjön bird observatory last week. The observatory is 450 kilometers north from here, and the bird fauna is very different from what I'm used to in Västmanland.
I spent three weeks there, and got home with many great memories. I took around 10 000 photos during these weeks.

Siberian Jay - Lavskrika – Északi szajkó (Perisoreus infaustus)

Common Scoter - Sjöorre – Fekete réce (Melanitta nigra)

Wood Sandpiper - Grönbena – Réti cankó (Tringa glareola)

Curlew - Storspov – Nagy póling (Numenius arquata)

Arctic Tern - Silvertärna – Sarki csér (Sterna paradisaea)

Teal - Kricka - Csörgő réce (Anas crecca)

The highlight of this trip was without a doubt the night i spent on a moore in a sleeping bag, surrounded by at least 40 Great Snipes. I may have said this too many times lately, but this was an unforgettable experience!
The birds were very active from 23 pm till I left, around 6 am. The sun rose at 03:07.

Great Snipe – Dubbelbeckasin – Nagy sárszalonka (Gallinago media)

Three Siberian Jays and a Bunting

Two days ago, I visited a famous bird-feeder with three other birdwatchers. We saw three Siberian Jays, and some small birds (Willow Tit, Crested Tit, Coal Tit, Nuthach, etc). I've never seen Siberian Jay before, so it was a really wanted visit to the deep forests of northern Sweden (well, practicly it is northern Sweden).
Many thanks for this trip to Daniel Green, guide and expert of birds and insects in Middle and Northern Sweden!

We found a nice grup of 5-6 Black Grouses. Female flying, male sitting on the pine tree.

We fed the Jays with sausage and the birds were all ringed, but I didn't want to show the sausage or the ring on the birds's leg on my photos. But here is one anyway.

Siberian Jay - Lavskrika – Északi szajkó (Perisoreus infaustus)

I find this one the best of all the Jay photos:

After feeding the Siberian Jays, on the way home to Västerås, we twitched a Little Bunting (Emberiza pussilla) that has been feeding on a feeding station in central Gävle since a few days back. This was another bird species that I haven't seen before. Awesome!

Little Bunting - Dvärgsparv – Törpesármány (Emberiza pussilla)

Since I already had a tripod with me, I made a short video of the Little Bunting (1080p or 720p and enlarge):
