Wild Birds of Sweden

Birds, birds, birds... I'm not not a bird-watcher, I'm a photographer, (at least that's what I keep telling myself). This gallery is just the result of my purchasing a new lens, the canon 100-400L*. I took a few pictures of some birds just to test the lens, and then a few more birds, and now I can't stop. Fortunately there are only around 400 species of birds in Sweden and I'm currently at 298... All pictures are taken of wild birds in their natural habitat unless otherwise noted. *As you may have noticed I have since ditched the 100-400 and bought a 500/4 instead...

I had a laugh when I read about your developing "problem" with photoing birds. Have recently read a book you'd probably enjoy : Mark Obmascik's "The Big Year", about a couple of people who set out to see as many different bird species as they can in a year. At any rate, keep up the good work - have some very nice photos here :-)

Great gallery Michael, as I understand these photos were taken during the last 1-2 years only, and it is a very impressing collection!

Just an stunning collection, Michael. Great shots and captures. As birdwatcher is a pleasure to see your gallery, shame I have not the equipment to photograph them. Great job indeed.

Kul (vansinning) idé att fånga alla fågelarter och mång mycket fina bilder. Jag gillar natur, men har aldrig varit "fågelbesatt", men det är ju lite sport att fotografera dem. Kommer snabbt flygande och sitter tillräckligt länge för att man nästan skall få en bild. Har hittills lyckats bäst med döda jag hittat i skogen. Får väl försöka identifiera det som flyger förbi på landet lite mer och organsiera ett galleri.
Hälsningar Mark

Great gallery. I to wasn't a birder until I got the 100-400. I see I've got some catching up to do. Once again nice shots.

Absolutely one of the best bird galleries I've ever seen. A great eye for the best shots, too. Thank you so much for sharing these.

Thanks Mirjam! I'll be adding the latin and english names as soon as I get a little time.

I've enjoyed your birdphoto's. Very beautifull; sharpness is great.
My compliments!
I'm an illustrator and if I ever want to know how a certain bird looks like, I know where to find it. Well, until this galery is closed off course.
Thanks,
Mirjam
