For some reason I tend to neglect my blog. I think it is because I  find the software not user friendly enough.  The text is hard to place and so are the pictures.  Since I last posted I have been to both Sweden for a month and parts of Indonesia.  Now is the rainy season and a good time to take care of other matters before the dry season begin and birding starts up again.  Anyway, I was out yesterday visiting some wet lands.
