Lets Dance!
The new arrivals did not waste any time. I came to the little wetland and saw them chasing and challenging each other. Mating games I guess. Serious business for them, lots of fun for me. :)

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. :)

Blåmesen kom till min balkong för att kolla vad jag hade satt upp för strån där. Entitan hittde jag i skogen på en promenad.
The Blue tit came t my balcony to investigate what kind of straw I put there. The Tit was in the forest where I took a stroll.

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. :)

Ducks

click to enlarge

NF Photo 110929, Näsnaren

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.

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.
