  Saturday 4th of May 2019 and the alarm goes off at 3 thirty. The plan is to go to Tiveden National Park and then to Sörön Nature Reserve. I will finish the day looking for the great Grey owl. Last time I will look for the beautiful owl. Ta tillbaka makten – rösta på Alternativ för Sverige 26 maj!
Beställ valsedlar på https://utur.eu/rosta/  Leaving Hamgården Nature Resort Tiveden and of course, I had to remove ice from the car windows before I could leave. Approaching the main gate and I see a female Western Capercaillie next to the road. Of course, she took off as soon as I stopped the car. I was surprised when she stopped close to the car. I took a few pictures and it would have been perfect if it wasn´t for the grass in front of the bird. I was disappointed and I realised that I would most likely never get any good pictures of the Western Capercaillie.  Female Western Capercaillie
I go to check out my “seed trap” The seeds I had poured out on the parking lot yesterday. Well, no birds had shown any interest in my seeds. There were a group of Robins around the toilets and I stopped to have a few pictures. I cannot see the difference between a male and female Robin, but it looked like some kind of courting / breeding things so I guess there was both males and females.  European Robin / Rödhake

My Guide had given me a HOT tip about the Black Woodpecker, there had been a pair nesting in the pine tree in the middle of one of the clearcuts in the forest. It was not much of a road going in to the forest. I had programed the area on my GPS. I had no position, or well, I didn´t bother programing it. But I aimed the “needle” to the area looking like the area on the Enriro map. I spotted more Western Capercaillie along the road, of course, no pictures and I never spotted the Black Woodpecker, and that is an easy bird to call by a whistle. Very responsive according to my guide. I whistled like a locomotive but no sign of the bird.  Driving through the forest to check out the Black Woodpecker

Looks like I will not get any pictures of two of my target birds. This was of course nothing I was happy with. But I had seen more than enough of the Western Capercaillie even though I had no pictures. And of course, a lot of beautiful nature so I was pretty happy. And I had got to see one of the biggest owls in the world, the Great Grey Owl. I drove to Sörön Nature Reserve and I was quite late and it was after 5 o´clock in the afternoon before a parked the car. Approaching the parking at the nature reserve and I spotted a male pheasant. I parked the car and I tried to sneak up on the bird. The bird had vanished and I was puzzled, it must have been very quick to disappear and there is really no place to hide as it is all open fields around us.  Male Pheasant
I have brought a box of Linseeds as the birds came up to us yesterday looking for crumbles. I sat down at the benches and I poured linseed over the benches and tables and I sat down to see if any birds would come to eat the seeds. The first bird to come was a Great Tit but the bird was scared. A Chaffinch came up to the table and he flew back and forth between the table and the tree a few times before he sat down to eat. The Great Tit landed a few times before the bird relaxed and started to eat a few seeds.  Picnic place

 I left Sörön Nature Reserve and when I came down to road to the Great Grey Owl area I spotted a guy with a tri-pod walking out to the field while a what I think was his wife was giving pointers from the road side. I understood that the Great Grey Owl was present and I spotted the owl a little further down the hill.   Great Grey Owl / Lappuggla
I park the car and I get out to get some pictures. The owl was not so close to the road today so the pictures was not so good. But I got a few pictures and I left the owl behind, next stop Hamgården Nature Resort Tiveden. I will spend my last night there before driving to Gothenburg tomorrow. I will start in Tiveden National Park and I will stop at Hornborga to look for birds on my way to Gothenburg. Click HERE to find out if I see any birds tomorrow.

E ni Svenskar och inte förstår Engelska så ska ni skämmas. J och Björn, med det menar jag inte att alla mina stavfel ska ältas varje gång vi träffas.
Well, the flag of Skåne, just a BONUS flag.
