Svarthätta - Sylvia atricapilla - Blackcap

 The male is singing and he looks a bit peculiar below his bill. Something to do with sound maybe.

I had the pleasure of meeting with this couple a month ago. I rarely see them and especially both at the same time. The male was singing and made quite a display. The female was more shy and stayed high up in the birch.

Gransångare - Phylloscopus collybita - Common Chiffchaff

NF Photo 111002, Falsterbo

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.

In the darknes of the forest a bird is singing. It took me a long while to locate it. I got one decent shot of it. But as I am bad on the songs I had to take the ID from a video where I could recognize the song. It is a Grönsångare - Phylloscopus sibilatrix - Wood Warbler

This bird too is a "hard to get" bird. Moving constantly among the reeds.  As soon as you locate it it is moving. These are the only ones I´ve seen of those species this year. So far anyway.

probably a female

Comments on Artportalen on help to identify the bird:
1 Jo törnsångare stämmer bra med ljus strupe och brun rygg vad jag kan se.
     correct, with white throat and brown back shows it is the whitethroat
2 Törnsångare stämmer bra,då iris verkar lätt gulaktig så är det ingen ungfågel,den bör vara 2 år eller äldre,alltså 2+, en ungfågel (10) född i år har mörk iris.

  correct, as the eyes iris seem a bit yellowish is shopws it is no young bird. It is probably 2 years or older. A young bird, born this year has a dark iris.

Artportalen:

 Fågeln på bilderna är utan tvekan en trädgårdssångare. På den ena bilden syns det att fågeln har grå halssida och att näbben är kort. Fågeln är relativt helbrun i dräkten och saknar tydliga karaktärer, vilket är typiskt för arten! Mvh Viktor Eriksson (Eskilstuna),

On my way to Camargue

Now it is finally happening, what I have been waiting and preparing for the last couple of months. Tonight I am going to Arlanda Airport for further transport to Camargue in the south of France. This is a modified teenage dream coming true. As a teen I was fascinated by teh area of Camargue. Mostly due to the wild horses. But this week I hope to enjoy both the hoses, if lucky, and a lot of birds. For the moment it is cloudy outside, but I hope for better as I go south. I´ll be  back May 9th, until then, have a great time. As I will.

I took a short walk this morning. I am going south, but others just came north. Here is one of  them.
