A magical night! - Experiencing the almost surreal sounds and strange moves of the Great Snipes made the bright summer night even more magical. At first you only hear them, but after a while when you have sharpened your senses and gotten into the right mood you suddenly see them! Bouncing up and down and running around everywhere. You just need to sit quietly and enjoy the experience. Sofie is a very nice and experienced guide with à lot of knowledge about these birds and this special place. She is also a master of the fine art of making real, Swedish bonfire coffee!
