Some more from Ånn

click to enlarge

Rödbena - Tringa totanus - Common Redshank
I have to say, if it wasn´t for those moving red legs I would hardly see the bird.

Brushane, hane i häck dräkt - Philomachus pugnax - Ruff, male breeding plumage
Far out I noticed a Ruff with a different coloring of the plumage from what I´ve seen before.
.
Skogssnäppa - Tringa ochropus - Green Sandpiper
At the edge of the mountain forest this Green Sandpiper sat on a trunk.


Storlom - Gavia arctica - Black-throated Loon
And in the air a Loon came flying.
NF Photo 110615 at Dolparna in Ånn reserve in Northern Sweden

Maybe I shall move up north? Or.... ;( If you like to see shots of the environment please look at Storulvån at the travel blog.
