  • Summer is back on the agenda!

  • This is what I see from my kitchen window. Yesterday’s deer was down in the field roughly above the left ocular, and the bird cherry that often features in my pictures is to the left of the left ocular. The binoculars are always on the window sill, because I want to be ready to take a…

  • It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the roe deer in the field. I’m keeping a diary of the wildlife observations around the house and the last observation is from 31 March. I used to see them regularly until last autumn, and now I only have some sporadic observations. Either they changed their route…

  • I was going to go running but it started raining right then, so I grabbed the camera and shot some frames while waiting for the shower to pass, I needed the 365. When I came back from my run, sun was breaking out but the clouds still dominated the sky. When it was getting closer…

  • I’ve been watching this bird cherry to see when the blooms start to appear. I’ll try to get active on naturenskalender.se and add some observations this year. I’m out and about every week, it’s just a matter of noting down when changes happen. This bird cherry however doesn’t require any effort, I shot it from my…
