    Impressive image, looks like the Osprey is watching you. Lake Malaren looks like an amazing location for the Osprey and Eagle.  I live near to a place  named Rutland Water we have breeding Ospreys there, due to our so called Lockdown there is no access to the site.  My birding experience in Sweden has been to Falsterbo in Autumn to see the raptor migration.

      Sorry for including my comment, hope it´s ok for you.
      It´s interesting watching the Swedish way how to handle the virus. To me it seems to be typical (and impressive) to give people freedom of own desicion how to handle it, but maybe I´m not completely informed about your gouverments tactics. Hope you´re succesful!!!

      We will se how it goes with the virus. Right now thing go about more or less as usual with the exception that we all keep our distances when we are out and less traveling also within Sweden (and certainly abroad). I am a little bit concerned what will have to places with strong lockdown when they open - the virus will still be there. On the other hand I just read that there may be a working vaccine coming in record time. That would be great. Hope they can produce enough.

      The situation in Germany with the lockdown is pretty comfortable right now. You can travel almost everywhere within the country. So it is not so bad anymore. I wouldn't go abroad right now and avoid Spain or Italy (or even further destinations like turkey). But within Germany it is completely okay. The last three years we visited lake Müritz in the federal state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The National park there has also a lot of intersting birds. But it is much more crowded than Sweden - I suppose. And the birds are suffering from the high number of people. And the federal state is still not allowing guest who come for one day since it is close to Berlin and man y people from Berlin are used to go there for a day. But I have no idea how there controll it when you use the train and have no licence plate on the car.

      Same. Right now as long as you do not plan to go abroad things are more or less normal - people are just keeping distance (I guess restaurants are not doing so well). This weekend I went to park but there were few people I only briefly meet two.
