Now, being a full time island dweller (Gotland and Sandhamn), I have now been categorized a true Homo Insulensis! Isn´t that just great!!!

The nest is always built on the same secure spot by one of the guest houses. I feed the busy mother fruit occationally and there is always fresh water for her so she does not have to fly very far from her sleepy brood! This year, I found five chicks in her nest. Their older brothers and sisters from passed clutches are serenading me through the summer days. The black bird seems to be quite stationary I am happy to discover..
