sweden fishing and birding

Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) visit our feeding stations everyday.

The Swedish have taken a keen liking to the Bullfinch, whom they treat as their “Christmas bird” in the same way that the British treat the European robin (Erithacus rubecula).

Red breast or pink breast, they both adorn Christmas decorations, wrapping paper, magazines etc over the Christmas period.

Here are some photos of one of many pairs that visit our feeding station everyday.

I love Sweden. Fishing and bird watching connect me to the outdoors. I worked in wildlife conservation in the UK for 17 years with the British Government. I currently work at a Swedish University specialising in species conservation, forestry and atmospheric research. I live and work in Sweden alongside unique and rare wildlife. Northern Sweden is the last great wilderness in Europe.
