"Thermometer"

This "thermometer" is not from Svångemåla but I think it is so good that I would like to share it!  Unfortunately, it is in Swedish but with Google translate it should not be a problem :)

Rhubarb forest

The Rhubarbs are gigantic now! 

Poet's Daffodil ( Narcissus poeticus )

I am not sure about the English name of this flower but I like the above more than Pheasant's-eye Daffodil.  

Rhubarb flowers are on their way.

Two very impressive buds are developing in our rhubarb jungle. It is already more than 15 cm long!

Meeting

They are all around us and we see them all the time but it is still a great experience to look a big, wild animal like this in the eyes and see who blinks first :)  As you can see, the moose did not win over the bear this time.

Western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus)

For the first time ever, this bird sat in the middle of the road not far from Svångemåla.  It is a female Western capercaillie and is only to be found in old, untouched forests. I hope she can find a suitable male!

Rhubarb

The Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) are making their way up. They do not look like much in the beginning but soon their leaves will be like parasols! Cannot wait for the first pie with custard.

Common Crane (Grus grus)

If you have followed this blogg for some time, you know that a pair of Common Cranes are regular visitors. This year I have only seen one walking around on "the Field" but both have flown low over our roof. An impressive sight.

Spring cleaning !

The weather during the Easter holiday was perfect for cleaning up the garden and make a small fire.

Goose ( Anser anser)

Many, but not all birds have now gathered in Svångemåla after their move to warmer areas during the winter. One, that we have not seen very often, is this one, a goose. It was sitting in the middle of "the Field" and looked a bit lost.
