The White Stork was a nice surprise for everybody. This was the only time we saw it. This bird was common in Sweden 100 years ago but not any longer. Lately there is a breeding project going on to try to establish them in the southern part of Sweden once again.

This was early morning and we stood on a cliff with the Atlantic ocean below us. A few birds walking on the shore. Too far away really. Needed a tube to even see them. But there was some oystercatchers. A new species for the trip. There is one on the documentary shot that I took through the tube.
