Common Cuckoo [gök]
The one you rarely see but hear – a lot, if you're lucky – this time of year. Today, several males accompanied our walk on Sandö, Smögen, with their distinct goo-ko. And suddenly, one of them sat in the shrubs next to the trail, long enough for me to get a picture. May 18, 2019.
Northern Wheatear [stenskvätta]
The wheatears were very busy today, keeping us at safe distance from their nests. Sandö, Smögen, on May 18, 2019.

Common Crane [trana]
Two of way too many cranes in the marsh area. Cranes are magnificent birds, but they prey on lapwings and other birds, and can cause a local population to crash. Fruängen, Dättern nature reserve, on May 11, 2019.
