This is a bird that gives me much joy. So fun to try to catch them as they fly over your head. You can get a bit dizzy by this activity though,

    Så superfina bilder du fick på tofsvipan! Det har jag aldrig fått. De är så skygga och sticker iväg innan man ens hunnit upptäcka dem ibland!

    Du är sååå duktig på att fotografera fåglar! Jag bor på Norra Europa´s bästa plats att fota fåglar på våren. Jag behöver bara öppna ett takfönster, så är fåglarna där. Borde skärpa mig...tack för att du inspirerar!
