Birds are singing and everything wakes up to life after winter! Look at these Goosander ducks (Mergus merganser). What a great camouflage! 🐦
It’s perfect time for all bird lovers! But remember – it’s also important time for birds. The Stockholm archipelago is one of the most important mating areas in the Baltic Sea for several species of coastal birds. They must be undisturbed during the mating and nesting season.

Here some advices for you how to behave:
🐦 never go through a bird protection area

🐦Keep dogs on a leash
