I was birding at Hjälstaviken this weekend with a female network called Rapphönan. As it is migrating times we look a lot on the sky. In the last shot, the geese is not really that red. It is the setting sun that is coloring them.

We were 19 women from the network Rapphönan that was t Hjälstaviken to look for migrating birds. I decided to join in because I wanted to see this bird even if it is not migrating. Sadly I only saw one male up close and briefly, three flying over the path. I would have loved seeing a family. This bird is not common in Sweden. There are only a few places where they stay.

A Starling i saw in Scotland last summer. It is really hard to see the bird in the debris from the ocean.

Not much birds around lately. But this day I heard some noise I could not recognise. Until I realised it came from above. Lots of cranes on the move south in the air. Second shot are mallards and Canada geese lined up on the jetty.

Only one bird on the location. I think it is a juvenile. I did see one a couple of times 4 weeks ago before my trip to Hawaii so this bird has been there alone for about 5 weeks. If it is the same and I think so. All other birds has left except for mallards so it seem strange to see one vader.

NatureFootstep Bird Photography

Jag heter Monica Johansson och bor i Katrineholm. Mitt internet alias är NatureFootstep. Och hemsidan NatureFootstep.com

Jag fotar mycket fåglar både hemma och på resor världen runt. Jag har en mängd bloggar där jag lägger ut mina bilder. Dock är mina bloggar vad jag kallar "artbloggar" och bilderna därför av skiftande kvalitet. Jag lägger ut bilder på alla arter jag lyckats fånga på bild! Och ur "stöldsynpunkt" är mina publicerade bilder små. Men om någon bild är av intresse för någon så får de gärna kontakta mig för att kolla hur orginalet ser ut.
 
Jag kan också skapa foton av mera konstnärlig typ om någon vill ha det.

Till mina bloggar har jag besökare från hela världen.

Mina fågelbloggar är:
1)  Europa
