This stream takes you to the edge of the forest on Lidingö island in Stockholm. It is a particularly interesting and vibrant kind of a local ecotone, a transitory zone where several different ecosystems meet. The forest comprises a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees, mostly larch, oak, pine trees and birches which make for a rich nesting ground for a variety of birds: tits, finches, blackbirds, robins, nuthatches, woodpeckers among others. Next to the forest is a golf course which besides local human inhabitants also serves as a site for migratory birds and animals. However, one of the most interesting places that the forest borders is an ancient burial ground from between 500 bc - 1000 ad. The place is frequented by a small flock of local sheep that by grazing on the grass helps maintain the site.
