Tofsmes - Parus cristatus - Crested Tit

NF Photo 120130, Tornskogen

This little tit is one of my favourites. I rarely see it so I was quite happe when it arrived to the feeder in the forest one day. And it was sunny to so I could get decent shots. I have only seen it three times and every time only one bird. So this was the sighting of the month. :)

About the gull, I am not sure wich it is as they were on the other side of the lake. Probably Herring gull though. They were surprised by the lake freezing the other day and now they probably wait for it to thaw again. It has been a warm winter so far and some birds have choosen to stay here. Normally they would have been far south at this time of the year.

Now I see them reflected in the snowfree ice. :)

Råka - Corvus frugilegus - Rook

NF Photo 111002 + 111003 in Falsterbo

Råkan har vi ju i sydsverige. Så jag hade inte sett den förut även om det är en vanlig fågel där. Jag ville ju ha bilder för bloggen men vår guide ville inte stanna bussen för en så vanlig fågel. Det tog 3 dagar för mig att få några bilder. Det är ju en fågel som trivs i samhällen och den var inte där vi var med gruppen. Men här är några bilder i alla fall.

This is a bird belonging to the crow family. We only have this bird in the southern part of Sweden so I had not seen it until I visited Falsterbo. But there it is a rather common bird. Which gave me some trouble. This bird did not go to the places we went with the group. It is a "city-dweller" I guess. And the guide did not want to stop the bus because of that common bird. But it is only common at that location. It took me 3 days to get some shots. I would have been pissed if I did not get a shot for the blog. Going home without a shot of a common bird? It happened to me twice before and I did not like it.

I think it is a great bird, just check out the beak!

When I was in Falsterbo we was introduced to ringing birds. The first day we learned a bit of the history and about the area we were in. More of that will be found on my Travel blog. The first bird we were shown was a Chiffchaff. It was already ringed but we learned a bit about it. One characteristic for this bird compared to similar ones is the dark cheek that make the bright ring around the eye stand out.

I really should need to work with the birds on a station for some time.

All of a sudden the lake isfilled with migrating ducks. I think I spotted about 10 different species. They will probably stay for about two weeks. Sadly I had no time o really study this, as I´ve been helping my daughter as she is moving. And tomorrow I will go to Falsterbo Observatory in the southern part of Sweden.
They say a lot of migrating birds are passing there this time of year. So I´m hoping to see a lot.

I have to admit m not sure about this one. But the guide told us it was a Woodcock so I have to believe it. He is experienced, I´m not.

Ett problem med fågelskådning är att de alltid sitter DÄR, högt uppe i träden. Då är det bra med långt tele så man i alla fall får en bild även om den inte är bra. :)

A problem with birding is that the birds always sits in treetops. Then a long lens is good to have. At least you get a shot even if it is not good.

I wanted to get closer to this bird but had a lot of snow between myself and the bird. The guys in the group said I should not worry about that, we were to see lots of them later on. And I could get my shots then. I guess the birds was not noted. This one was the only one we saw. It is a male in spring plumage.

This is a seabird breeding in the mountains. There was a nest but we did not go close enough for me to get a shot. This bird don´t hesitate to attack you if you get too close.

Info from people on Artportalen regarding the ID of this bird.
Kommentarer från Artportalen då jag satte den som OB Falkar. :
*Kan det vara en duvhök?? mvh
*Det måste vara en duvhök vad jag ser, kolla i fågelboken på ung duvhök, men du bedömmer ju själv eftersom jag inte observerade. mvh Simon Ström
*Benens grovlek samt allmänt slank ger sparvhök. Färgen och formen på vattringen på bröst och buk stämmer mindre bra med duvhök men bättre på sparvhök. Mvh / Mattias
*Smala tarser, hjärtformade bröstfläckar - ung sparvhök. Den unga duvhöken har droppformade fläckar på undersidan - ungefär som de där penseltrycken man gjorde i skolan en gång i tiden :) Höken på bilden är ganska klent byggd och och inte så stor och axelbred som en duvhök. MVh GA
*Ser ut som 1K sparvhök
*Visst är det en sparvhök. Jag slarvade med bestämningen då jag egentligen bara ville få observatören bort från falk spåret. HHHmmmmm!!
Flygbild:
*Ser ut som 1K sparvhök
*Ehhh... falkar är nog inte tvårbandade detta viset... 1K sparvhök
