Bird guiding
Private bird guiding and photo workshops in southern Sweden
Private guiding and photography workshops in Skåne and southern Sweden, adapted to your level – from your first species to birds in flight.
Approach
Adapted to your level
Tours are planned around season, weather and what you want to see or photograph. Beginners get help with the common species, using binoculars and recognising calls. Experienced birders and photographers work more deliberately towards specific species, behaviour or image ideas.
Skåne, Gotland, Öland and the rest of southern Sweden offer coast, wetlands, pasture and deciduous woodland within short distances – and some of the country's best sites for raptors, waterbirds, waders and migrating birds. Tours can also be arranged in other parts of Sweden.
