Sweden Farna Ekopark and Kvismare Valley

After walking in the forest, we visited a lake and were delighted to find a party of five Black Throated divers. After an early supper at our new lodgings, we went to a hide that overlooked the Kvismare Valley to watch the Cranes flying in. Soon they were arriving  by the wind pumps, together with tumbling Greylags, some Whooper Swans and a pair of White-tailed Eagles.

Bird Watching Trip to Sweden

I am on a birdwatching tour to Central Sweden run by Nature Trek. We flew out of Heathrow at 7.15 am, which meant a very early start today. We were met at the airport by our guide Daniel Green (see his blog listed opposite). Our first stop was at an area good for Hawk Owls and certainly one was spotted a long way in the distance. The rest of the group decided to cross the very snowy fields to try to get a little closer but I took a walk along the road and was rewarded with a very good view of a White-tailed eagle as it passed over my head.

















We then drove to our accommodation for two nights at Svartadalen and on the way stopped to view a small flock of Waxwings.
