Birds this week

Havsörn - Sea Eagle. NF Photo 101116
This was the closest I ever managed to come to one of them. But I still don´t have a ground shot. They left because there was nothing more to eat but bare bones. Yes, I checked when they were gone.

Turkduva - Streptopelia decaocto - Eurasian Collared Dove.  NF Photo 101119
I was out for a walk the other day. Close to home I spotted this dove sitting on the antenna. It was nice because it is the first time I have seen it in Sweden. So now I have 145 species for Sweden on my blog. And a total of 174 for Europe.  :)

Domherre - Bullfinch

These bullfinches visited my balcony for the first time this season. I can see 5 on the flowerbox and two males in the trees behind it. This is also unusually early.

    How lucky you are to see that special eagle! So, they come close to human habitations, very interesting!

    I like the dove on the antenna and the Bullfinches. The dutch name for the Bullfinch is great - in German it's also called Dompfaff, that would be something like the Dom-preacher :-)

    Nice photo of the Eagle. Out here eagles are not easy to get close to either. I like the Bullfinches - how great to have them come that close to you.

    Hej!
    Visst är det kul med fåglar! Har inte varit intresserad tidigare, men med digitalkameran så har det helt plötsligt blivit intressant!
    Vi brukar få hit ett par turkduvor här i vår trädgård och vi bor i södra Sverige. Några domherrar såg jag för första gången förra veckan här hos oss.
    Mvh Pia

    The dove is pretty and the bullfinches love those seeds!

    Havsörnar ja de är vackra. Missade sjäv ett foto av två som förökade sig. Kom på dem av slumpen men naturligtvis ingen kamera med. Synd. Nu får jag kika på dina vackra fåglar. Jag har slutat med @. ha en fin afton.

    Hallå!
    Domherrar tycks det krylla av denna höst.Trevligt! Havsörnar är SÅ stora. Jag brukar visa deras vingbredd med ett snöre på mina guidningar i hamnen och alla blir så imponerade.
    Kram
