Comment on Artportalen:
Visst är det en småsnäppa. En 1k fågel vilket bl. a. man kan se på den ljusa pannan och det delade ögonbrynsstrecket. (sure, i´t is a Little Stint. A 1k bird as you can see from the bright forehead and the separated eyebrow) )  MVH/ Jalle

I located this tiny bird a bit out on the wetland. Almost invisible where it strutted around on the grey surface. It was nice because it was the first time I could photograph it in Sweden.

Do you english speaking people use the term "1K" for birds born this summer? It means "the first calenderyear"? So should be used until Dec 31st!
