Just spotted this post now. I saw that you had plans for visiting Rogen, the lake and the National Reserve of the area. Rogen is also on the list of future National Parks.

I saw that you mentioned Slovenian Grebe and Ring-Necked Duck. Slovenian Grebe, although quite common in Sweden, are not found at Rogen. Ring-Necked Duck is a rarity, we have had one in Sweden sofar this year.

At Rogen you can expect Siberian Jay, Parrot Crossbill, Siberian Tit and Capercaillie amongst other species.

much appreciated . will that terrain support many raptors ?

I guess the most likely raptors at Rogen would be Osprey, Common Cestrel and Merlin. Species to look out for would be Golden Eagle and Gyr Falcon, the latter is rare but possible if you go up into the mountains.

Good luck and have a great trip!
