NF Photo 120813, Ålsäter

This is a nice little bird that is not that shy. This one stayed for a while despite it knew I was there. I think it checked out the new pathway. I was pleasently surprised to find it, the pathway. Now it is possible to get a bit longer out to overlook the lake. There was not much birds in the lake but from the plank you could tell some geeze had been there.

Drillsnäppa - Actitis hypoleucos - Common Sandpiper

The first photo was shot at Strandstuviken where I birded last week. The second two was shot at Djulö Kvarn when I was paddling. I was so surprized as I have never seen any waders there before. Or in the entire lake. This is a residential district and the two birds were walking just in front of a house. I came quite close too, in my kayak. Maybe they did not see me as a human where I sat in the kayak.

Öland trip tryout

Last saturday I went to Öland. I´ve been in Gamleby and Västervik ( 3 posts on NF Photo starting HERE) for a week and now I headed south. I did go to Öland for 2 reasons. I wanted to try my tent. I have not slept in a tent since I was a kid and now I wanted to see if this is something I shall do in order to get to where the birds are. With a tent you are free to go where ever and when ever you like.

My equipment, my mobile home. And, yes, it is quite OK to use. :)

It was a good trip and I will do it again. But hopefully then there will be more birds. The only problem I had was to find the local Supermarket to buy food. Luckily I brought some with me. :(

The trip back home took 5 h with only one stop for gas and wc visits.
