Well, the flag of Skåne, just a BONUS flag.
Sunday 5thof May 2019and I packed my stuff in to the car. I cleared the car windows from ice and I left Hamgården Nature Resort Tiveden around 5 thirty. Driving towards Tiveden National Park and I was driving in to the sun. So I could not see the female Western Capercaillie until it was almost next to me.
I did not want to stop as it would have scared the bird and I continued towards the national park. I turn around and I drive back with the sun in the back. Approaching the bird and she is still next to the road. Now I see another female Western Capercaillie on the other side of the road and when I slow down both of the birds fly away.

I see three females and one male Western Capercaillie before I leave Tiveden behind, of course, no pictures.

I expect it to take two and a half hour to drive to Gothenburg plus the time it will take to stop at Naturum Hornborgasjön. I make one stop along the highway to check out a bird of prey next to the road but the bird take off when I start to walk towards the bird.

First bird I spotted in a tree between the parking and the Visitor Centre at Naturum Honborgaön
I park the car and I walk down towards the board walk and visitor centre when I hear a Blue Tit in one of the trees. I stop to try to get a few pictures and a sound recording. There were no Barn swallows last time at Naturum. But now they are here, and they are busy building nests.
This bird was really not scared. Perching on a wood rail taking a rest from nest building
The swallows are busy with their nests and they take their rest on the wooden handrail along the board walk. They are friendly and they are sitting there so I can record and take pictures. Very nice birds. Other developments in the area as well.
The Greylag Gooses where sitting on eggs last time attacking everything coming close to their nests. Now they have babies, like we could see back in Kvismared Nature Reserve. I could come pretty close and it was really joyful to watch the parents and the babies walking around eating.
Last time here and there was a goose sitting on eggs in this nest

The bird was sitting in a bush next to my car. I was busy recording the bird and I missed to take a picture of a House Sparrow having a sand bath below the Eurasian Sparrow
Eurasian Tree Sparrow/ นกกระจอกบ้าน/ Pilfink
Back at the car and I discover an Eurasian Tree Sparrow in the bush behind the car. I make a recording of the sound and I get a few pictures. There is a House Sparrow having a sand bath under the bush, but I miss to get any picture / video.
I spotted a sign, well, I had saw it when I arrived and I thought it was something about road work or something. Now I read it and they had a ring marking day at the bird station at the farm above the parking area. 09:00 - 11:00 and I checked my wrist watch and it was 10:55. I threw myself in to the car and I drove up to the farm that turned out to be the Hornborgasjöns fältstation. I asked if I was too late, but they were just going to leave to check the nets for birds.
I drove back and I parked the car and we went to check the nets. The two first nets were empty. but we had one male Common Reed Bunting in the last net and we brought he bird back to the birding table.

Back at the table
We check out the Common Reed Bunting, well, the “ringer” to all the this as, obviously, as you understand, it is just not any one that can start ringing birds. You need to be skilled and trained before you can ring birds.
Anyway, the bird was inspected to try to estimate the age. By looking at the wings, feathers etc. we can estimate the age. We measure the wings and the bird. And last thing we do is the check the weight. Then we release the bird. And of course, before releasing the bird we put a ring with a number on the bird so they can get some kind of history next time they find the bird.

I left Lake Hornborga and I started to drive towards Gothenburg. It was the road I had been driving many times back when I stayed in Skara during the Crane Dance. I spotted a male Pheasant. I took a few pictures of the beautiful bird, but as I already have pictures I didn´t spent too much time with the bird.
Back in Skara and I went up on the highway and it was full speed towards Gothenburg in the south.

I found my hotel and I unloaded my luggage. There was no parking outside the hotel so I had to run in with my luggage trying to avoid any Meter Maids. There is a ticket machine, but you need some app to be able to pay, so this was no option. The luggage in the room and I was driving back to the train station to return the car.
I will be back next Saturday to pick up a new car so I can drive to Öland. Back at the hotel and I went to look for a restaurant and I found a Pizzeria.

The room was OK, but no desk! So they had to put a table in my room, better than nothing, but not as good as a desk. So, well, with the price you pay for this hotel you expect way more. Anyway, my alarm is set to go off at 3 thirty and I will start class at 10 o´clock. ClickHEREto find out if we learn anything.
