Common starling (stare) displaying from a rooftop, Hålanda 29 April 2014. He may not be a mastersinger, but surely is a great performer! XL-H1A, Canon FD lens 100-300 mm, Telinga Pro V parabola.



For (many!) more starlings, see below.

Marsh warbler (kärrsångare) Hålanda 5 June 2014. Most probably the same individual as on the audio recording from 10 days later (see the Mastersingers page), but not the same as the one singing in 2011. Also compare 2019!

Not far from the path from Vålådalen's Fjällstation in Jämtland to Stensdalen, I have found a new favourite environment: a tributary to the stream Tvärån. Here are some inhabitants near the creek:  a family of Northern Wheatears (stenskvättor), and some higher up but not so far away:  two worried Golden Plovers (ljungpipare). Mid-July 2014, camera: Canon XH-A1s, sound: Telinga Pro 5 with stereo DAT mic. Karta: ©Lantmäteriet Geodatasamverkan, Länsstyrelsen Jämtlands län.

Jag planerar nu (i mars 2024) att göra en lång film om den här turen. Det finns massor av klipp på fåglar, blommor, vatten och berg.

15 August 2014: A young Hobby Falcon (lärkfalk) in Hålanda, Sweden. In the beginning you hear the call of one of its parents (or a sibling), and at 15" an adult falcon is seen flying by. The family has a new nesting place beginning with 2013, cf 2012 above!
