I am born in 1965 and have been birding since teenages. I like to travel and to meet people from around the world, specially if they have similar intrests as me, meaning intrests about nature, photography and specially birds. I live in Leksand, a small town in Dalecarlia (Dalarna) province in the middle part of Sweden. It is situated about 280 km to NW from Stockholm and about 200 km to SE from the Scandinavian mountains that raise above the tree level. In the area of Leksand itself there is a domination of taiga forests, but also some intresting wetlands. Examples of birds that might be intresting for a visitor: Ural Owl (Strix uralensis), some years Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa), Three-toed Woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus), Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius), Arctic Loon (Gavia arctica), Red-throated Loon (Gavia stellata), Parrot Crossbill (Loxia pyttiopsittacus) etc. We will always show maximum respect for the birds and never disturb them at the nesting places, unless this is considered harmless. See you behind the binoculars!
