The Twig 2010

Do you remember "the twig"? Well, this is a recent picture of it. No big changes and it is obvious that the soil is not very fertile and that it will take a looooong time before I can use it for a swing :)

Baby moose has grown up!


One of the calves I saw 2008 (I think) has now grown up and was peacefully grazing on the Field when I woke up this morning. A wonderful sight early in the morning.

Back in the wild forests of Svångemåla!

I am once again listening to the birds, watching the fox, the moose and the rest of "my" animals in Svångemåla. Nothing has really changed since I left last year although the winter was unusually long and hard with lots of snow and very low temperatures. It was really nice to see Fred the Fox sneaking around when we arrived and it did not take long before the cranes flow over our house. It is still cold with only 10 C during the day and even less during the night. Despite the cold weather the mosquitoes are big and plentiful. Mrs Wagtail only has to fly around a bit with her mouth open to have a full dinner.

In the next days I will try to take some pictures of the flowers that are making spring such a special time of the year.
