Day 3 in Lapponia

Report from OK's and AnS trip to Abisko, Day 3 (via LS and iPhone):
Dagens tilldragelse var en expedition ner till Stordalens naturreservat, ett myrområde med små sjöar, och som även hyser en liten forskningsstation. Vi skådade fågel och mamma målade medan jag provade fiskelyckan. Vi såg lom, gulärla, sjöorre, brushane, småspov, silvertärnor, rödvingetrast, kricka, vigg, knipa, enkelbeckasin, grönbena, ängspiplärka och en massa annat. Vädret var lättande under dagen med måttliga vindar. Nu lagar vi kyckling med morötter, rotselleri, vitlök, purjolök och annat gott i ugnen.

(Todays happening was an expedition down to Stordalens (=Big Valley) nature reserve, an area with bogs and small lakes, as well as a small research station. We did some bird watching and mom painted while I tried to catch some fish [LS note: I guess you didn't get any...]. We saw a Loon, Yellow Wagtail, Common Scoter, Ruff, Whimbrel, Arctic Terns, Redwing, Common Teal, Tufted Duck, Common Goldeneye, Common Snipe, Wood Sandpiper, Meadow Pipit, and a lot of other birds. The weather became better as the day passed, and the winds were moderate. Now we are cooking chicken with carrots, root celery [LS note: ick!], garlic, leeks and other good things in the oven.] [LS: I found a great bird name translator online!]
Beware of science! (Warning for science!)
Vetenskaplig utrustning. (Scientific equipment.)
Vetenskaplig utrustning? (Scientific equipment?)
Om man knyter rosa rosetter om signal- och elkablar till utrustningen så kanske man kan äska bidrag för genusforskning? ;) (If you tie pink rosettes around your communication and electric cables, maybe you can get funding for gender role research?)
Sjöstrand. (Lake shore)
Mycket gott om hjortronblom, fjolårslingon, -kråkbär och -tranbär. Smaken var det inget fel på. (Lots of cloudberry flowers, last year's lingonberries, XXX, and cranberries. The taste was fine. )
Klart vatten. (Clear water)
Terrängen var bitvis oländig för mamma, men det gick. (The terrain was sometimes horrible for mom, but it worked out.)
Man måste inte äta frystorkat bara för man är i fjällen.. (You don't have to eat freeze dried food just because you are hiking in the mountains.)
