An amazing winter season is soon to be completed. Good opportunities have been offered to photograph Golden eagles, various small birds and Red fox etc. in snowy and frosty landscape.
Now the spring season has started with Black grouse play which will goes on until the beginning of May. Over 30 Black grouse has so far arrived to the playground. The Whooper swans has begun to arrive and soon the Common cranes are also here to prepare this year's breeding.
The autumn season has started, so far with both Golden eagles and other birds and also Nothern lights in the evening.
The result of the mating pictures I took some months ago: the young male left the nest a couple of hours ago and this is the young females last minutes in the childhood home. I have spent a lot of time the last month on a steep mountain side photographing this two growing siblings, in cooperation with experts on wild Golden eagles.

Golden eagle & magpie
This night I could shoot both the Milky way and Northern light from the roof of my eagle hide.
From now in September - February we will have good opportunity for pictures of The Milky way and Northern Light.
One of the summer's photo project has been to document how a young golden eagle evolved over a few weeks before leaving the nest. The photographing was conducted in close consultation with experts at the Golden Eagle in Västerbotten and was not initiated until the young bird had grown up considerably in order not to endanger the nesting result. The youngster is mostly alone in the nest and the parents show up about once a day to leave food.
By now the nesting is completed. It has been interesting to follow the Golden eagle youngster growing up; it has now left the nest and already become sure of wings in its new element: airspace.
Eventually the whole prey is left to the youngster because it should learn to cut by itself. A recurring prey during the month of July has been viper. The parents has flown in with snakes without head but still freshly caught ,death spasms have continued for a long while in the nest. Viper seems to be food that is easy for the young bird to handle and quickly swallow. Picture: The female coming in with Viper.

Now I have paddled ca 70km on two different water ways. In the smaller river -which had a lonely and beautiful running- there was “ relics” (old logs) from the log-driving epoch so I had to drag the canoe here and there. I have come close to birds and animals like for example several beavers, moose, whopper swans, goldeneyes and wild ducks
For the first time I got pictures of owl from the canoe. Hawk owl .
Whooper Swan taken from the canoe.
Curious moose from the canoe

Morning light over Osprey water this morning 2013-08-11
looks good at the Osprey nest, the youngster gets its breakfast served this morning.
It looks great around the ospreys this summer and I’ll be photographing from late july through early august. A falcon pair is also nesting in the vicinity so it’ll be a possibility to get pictures of them both.
Before photographing the osprey and falcon it is very important to prepare the right way so you
don’t disturb their nesting. It’ll be just before the youngsters learn how to fly.
I will follow the photographer to the hide and then leave, after that the birds will return straight away. Interested?
This picture is from last summer.

Climbing to the Golden eagles nest to ring a young eagle.This is one of the top climbers in Sweden , Bjarne Modig. I think this is the area eagles nest where "Vindelörnen" rules.
Last night I went checking out sites for Black throated diver. It's still high water for the season and the rain continues. A wonderful feeling appear when a whooper Swan flew over the camp at night.
You can also get good pictures of the landscape.
Birds in Sweden/Fåglarna i Sverige.
I'm happy that two of my Golden eagle photos are represented in the newly published book.It's the result of 15 years work by the countries best bird experts.
But then it's also one of it's kind. No other country has so far presented such detailed information of it's birdfauna.
Today started finally the capercaillie courting season, after a late beginning this year.
Still lots of snow. My guests have been on the capercaillie in the morning and in the Eagle hide in the afternoons. Surprisingly good results on eagle shooting. One of my guests have an incredible picture of the golden eagle as I hope will be published in Sweden.
Capercaillie have been more difficult, but we will not give up. This is a picture from last February, Golden eagle on a dead fox.
