This day I witnessed a fight over territory between a Coot and a Horned Grebe pair.  It was quite intense but no one was injured. And the winner is ...... the Horned Grebe.

Today I only saw one Grebe so the other is probably laying on egg.

Passing by this land yesterday I realized we had a brand new lake. It had been raining a lot and the land was filled with water. Not sure the farmer liked it but the birds did. The first of the vaders I´ve seen was there and some greylag goose and gulls. And to me, it was a nice surprise :)
And in the nearby pond I found a Moorhen. I hope it will stay.

This time of year house cleaning is important. I did not hear any sound but there might be chicks in there.

In the last image the pair seem to say "can´t you see we are building a nest, leave us be will you".
The images is taken in a Nature Reserve outside my town. It is about old nature features. The Long tailed tits was gathering feathers laying on the forest floor. Probably from a Blue Tit.

This one should be a male because I can see a patch of red on it´s head. Seems like he wants several homes to chose from. Maybe the lady is picky :)
