Vigg - Tufted duck

NF Photo  130329 Oxelösund

I and a fried went to the coast yesterday to check on the birds. There is supposed to be a Ring-necked Duck in the harbour area. As this is an American duck it is very rare in Sweden. There was probably more then 1000 tufted ducks to chack out in order to find the Ring-necked one. We spend 4h looking for it but failed. But then, of course, half way home we got word it was sighted. My friend was not to happy then. We did not have time to turn around and go back.

Shadow Shot Sunday   There are shadows here and there even if not that obvious.

I was out for a long walk yesterday as the sun finally came out.  When I was almost home again this one came flying over the villas. Not often seen in town really. Loved the sight. But I almost scared some people in the house. They thought there was something wrong with the roof. Well, I could asure them it was fine. To bad thou they did not see the majestic bird.  :)

Kråka/Gråkråka - Corvus cornix - Hooded Crow

This is the same bird in both shots. The shadow of the wing makes it look compleately different in the upper shot.

I have never been this close to birds before. It was a real treat and I loved every second of it. Despite the fact we was attackt most of the time. You had to wear head protection. But luckily they did not target your eyes. You had to be very careful so you stayed out of their way as chicks could wander around. I had a lot of fun trying to capture them in the backlight of the sun. And as you can see there was nests, eggs and chicks all over the place. A place I´d like to revisit.

Rödhaken värmer sig i den lågtstående vintersolen. Det var första gången jag sett en vintertid.  

European Robin warms itself in the low winter sun. The first time I saw one in winter.
