    Copied from "Sweden" a Swedish Tourist Board publication:
    
                                Bird-watching
    
    The southern and central areas of Sweden are renowned among
    ornithologists.  Hornborgasj�n in the province of V�stergotland
    is where the cranes perform their spectacular courtship dance in
    the middle of April [see also Note 79], Ottenby on the island of
    �land is an observatory for migratory birds and Falsterbo, on the
    southern tip of Sk�ne, is a popular spot to watch the migration
    of thousands of birds of prey.  The Swedish Touring Club (STF) arranges
    bird-watching tours in the spring.
