Just a quick post to show friends that I have arrived in Sweden for a five day birdwatching and dragonfly trip. The weather here was warm and sunny so quite a few dragons on the move. There are four red darter species and here show two the Moustached which is redder than the Common Darter (has yellow on thorax) and has a teardrop down the side of the eye and the Ruddy Darter - even redder and with a club shaped tail. Of the birds, White Tailed Eagle large enough for a photo, an obliging Wheatear, lots of Barnacle Geese and a strange looking Hybrid between a Lesser White-Fronted Goose and a Barnacle
