NF Photo 111002, Höllviken,  Falsterbo
I found this guy close to the hotel, in Falsterbo, we stayed in. On the shore that turns toward Denmark. I only spotted 2 of them this evening. It was getting dark as it was after dinner. Due to the setting sun there is a slight glow on teh bird. A new bird on my blog. :)

    Nice photos. This is a bird I know also as it migrates down here in the summer.

    What does the Swedish name mean?
    They're beautiful birds.

    It looked like a low light shot, very dificult conditions. I don't think I know this bird though I recently saw its cousin, Yellowlegs.

    Jedeiah, I have no clue of what the name means. We have a word "glutta", mostly a dialect word, that means "take a quick look" or glance maybe. "Snäppa" = pipers and stints.
