Arrival in Sweden: Wednesday 20th May
We flew from Manchester to Copenhagen and took the train across the bridge to the first station in Sweden where we were met by Ingrid. Lars Rydgren and Ingrid were to be our generous hosts for the next few days as we’d kindly been invited over to Sweden to talk to the Swedish 300 Club, a group comprising the country’s top birders. If you fancy a test of your Swedish, log on to their website http://www.club300.se!
We took a 4-hour drive east to the island of Oland arriving early evening, just in time to see a Common Rosefinch and hear a Thrush Nightingale.
