This is the view from the tower I was on. It has 3 floors and I was on the top one. To get the images above I used my 400mm lens and added a 2x Tele Plus. It resulted in a 800mm lens. On top of that it was a hard wind shaking the tower. Luckily I was able to have a rather short shutter speed. But considered it is no wonder the images have a lot of noise. But I am happy, it was the first time I saw them in Sweden so I got a Swedish X. There are 2 egrets, a few grey herons and geese in the images. They are in the center of the larger view image.
There seem to be a lot of confusion about where it belongs. I found no less then 2 Latin names for it: Ardea alba, casmerodius albus and Egretta alba. The confusion seem to be if they are herons or not. They can probably figure it out with DNA tests.
