Havsörn - Sea eagle

I was not that lucky with the eagles. I got only one shot, the one above, on my way to the shelter. It flew away before I even got close. :(  The hiding was a mess. The door was stuck and I had to work hard to open it. Then I had to clean out a lot of spiders web and leafs. Obivously  noone used it for a long time. And the cattle to were curios about what I was doing. They belong an "open landscape" project I think as there are both cows and bulls. And young. 
Sidensvans - Waxwing

I mentioned before that the waxwing are early at this location. This year will not be good for them. Last year there were tons of berries on the trees. But they did not need it then. There were food all over the place. Now the trees are empty. Some bushes has berries but  the rowans (rönn) are empty. There seem to be lots of birds as there were much food last winter. This year many of them will starve. :(

  2. Too bad the eagles flew off so soon. Hope they are more cooperative next time! Interesting about the lack of rowan berries this year. Do you know what has caused it?

  3. Mimmi, jag har en sådan bild förut, Nu ville jag ha en bättre. :(

    Mick, it was probably too cold during the blooming period. No insects, no fruit. :(
