Tämnaren is one of the biggest lakes in Uppland. This dawn I took the canoe to a sheltered bay at the southern end of Tämnaren. It is a wonderful place for birds inaccessible from land. My goal was to count the number of black terns in the colony. There were 60 birds which makes this colony one of the biggest in Sweden. Surprisingly I also found two little crakes, a rare bird in Sweden. Good numbers of young bearded reedlings as well.
