Angry birds in Själevik - 10 June 2017

Having started our seasonal migration last week, from Nynäshamn to Oskarshamn, this week we had to come from Stockholm on Friday night, after a fantatiskt diner at friend's place, by car. A four hour drive, plus the resting stop on the way. We made it by 2:00 this morning, just in time for a good night.

Shopping for fresh stuff, plus shopping for gaz and other non perishable stuff for the month of June. Leaving by 14:30 for Själevik, for the night, on our way to Kalmar this weekend.

The pilot says that the bay is fine, nice and well protected. The chart however, does not try to reassure you in any ways... We decided to follow the trace of the submarine cable, as it goes probably at the deepest part of the bay. We did make it slowly and safely to the shelter of the bay, by 2 meters of water on the chart plotter.


But then it is the paradise, with protection from all winds!

iPhone panorama. Quite powerful!

At this time of the year, while birds are mating, there is quite an ambiance in these kind of mooring places. Lots of agressivité among the birds. With no pigs around to diffuse anger, angry birds are fighting each other to protect their chicks...

Fierce fight of two black-headed moths
Loud and agressive!

The flight of an angry moth...
