Last friday was one of those boring days. Grey and rain now and then. Did not have much to do so took the car for a trip around the area. And.. you know what? I did find some goodies.I had a difficult time to choose among these and the post before it. I am rather proud of the Northern Wheatears I posted in there. If you have time, maybe you like to take a look.

Svarthakedopping som ruvar - Podiceps auritus - Horned Grebe in its nest
Knipa, dununge - Bucephala clangula - Common Goldeneye, juvie
There was a lot of these guys. They seemed to have a lot of fun. Hard to catch though. :)
Sothöna - Fulica atra - Eurasian Coot
The Coot also had a lot of chicks, they look so funny with the red heads.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos, my favorite is also the Horned Grebe on the nest. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the Horned Grebe on its nest. It was a very nice way to spend a gray day.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit surprised no body mentions the chicks?
