in southern Sweden in the county of Östergötland. In the meadow

Report: Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland, and Norway),
July
1 - 30, 1987 - by Gerard Joannes. Scandinavia has changed a lot recently.
Finding food at a reasonable price was very difficult during my first trip
from 1 to 30 July 1987. I did a lot of sight-seeing then only watching
birds when I saw them. During my second
trip in 1996 which was entirely devoted to bird-watching, we found
food very easily at supermarket prices..

Report: South Sweden & Denmark, January 14-16, 2000 by
Remco
Hofland. Having heard about the many Pygmy Owls, sighted in Denmark in
autumn 1999, we decided to try our luck on this most-wanted species of
ours. This report is about our hunt for winter owls.

Report: Northern Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, and Norway)
June
13-28, 1998 by Gruff Dodd. In June 1998 I was finally able to satisfy a
long outstanding ambition to travel to this wonderful part of Europe in
search of some of its most magical birds. I had wanted to visit this region
for many years.
....Trip
Report: Jylland (Denmark), Northern Germany, and Koitjärve
(Sweden),
April 2-13, 1998. I write very briefly, mainly for the benefit of the North-American
readers, from whom I have always got most plentiful comments and most beautiful
compliments concerning my trip reports. For the European readers, I must
tell that there is nothing outstanding here -- just common species.
....Trip
Report: Tynnigö (Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden), Summer 1998
by
Michael Watkins. I have just returned from a short trip to Sweden. The
restricted time meant a restricted area, so this may have some value as
an observation in a very small area in a short time.
....Trip
Report: Northern Scandinavia June 1999 - by Teus Luijendijk.
In
June 1999, Pieter van der Luit and I set out for a trip through Northern
Sweden, Finland and Norway. In this report I have summarised our findings,
mostly regarding to the birds (and mammals) we observed. Our goal was to
find as many of the 'Northern speciality birds' as possible. Any birder
will know what I mean with this: the (North-)Scandinavian forests and tundra's
host a number of bird species that are difficult, or even impossible, to
see elsewhere.
