My name is Pixie and I'm a Biology student in Sweden.
This is a blog aimed to help me learn more about different species that call Sweden home. All pictures on this blog have been taken by me and may not be used without my permission.
While I'm quite confident in what I post here, I'm still an amateur so if you find a mistake or have any suggestions, feel free to send me a message.
