Yardbirds
I live in an apartment in Luleå, Norrbotten, with a view over the small inlet of Svartöviken and close to Lövskatagrundet. All birds are observed from my apartment and it´s immediate surroundings. I have been living here since June 1995. I have seen 130 species of birds so far (November 2008).
