With a total number of 15 Marsh harrier nests located and one lonely male flying over Östra Kvismaren waiting for a lonely female; we decided would be good to give us a free Marsh harrier day and went looking for moose with Magnus Friberg.

And we succeeded!

10 Marsh Harrier nests! Although 2 of them could just be roosting platfforms and will need to be checked in the next days, there are 3-4 more pairs holding territories that have not started building yet. Very promising numbers.

So, we had fun in a busy but successful day, looking for nests and checking new territories.

See you in the next post!!!

Happy Easter everybody!

This beautiful Easter Sunday was dominated by Marsh Harriers! In the morning we were searching for their nests at Nyängen, Fågelsjön and Åslasjön. After this nice morning session, we followed a tradition that can’t be lacking on this day… the Easter egg hunt! We only had three eggs, so everyone had just one egg to find but they were well hidden.

God afton Sverige after Day number 6!

Weather: foggy (very foggy) morning, quite sunny afternoon

Projects: Sörön nest boxes, Marsh Harrier nests, Ringing

The 5th day of the season began without visibility. So we just changed plans and started the day with fixing the broken nestboxes in Sörön.
