Lilla Näsnaren

I visted the little shallow lake Lilla Näsnares the other day. They have built a new platform for birders and I wante to check it out.

There were several pairs of Mute swan and I thought there might be nesting. There was also some Common Terns showing off :) To my pleasure.

When I checked my shots at home I enlarged one of them and saw that the Mute swans already had chicks. I had not seen that as I did not bring my Spotting Scope. A nice surprise. Now I have to go there often as I have not seen swan young for several years.

Silvertärna - Sterna paradisaea - Arctic Tern

It was kind of fun to catch this bird in the middle of the city of Reykjavik, Iceland. Local birders told me it is Arctic Tern.

A few ones today

Svartvit flugsnappare- Ficedula hypoleuca - Pied Flycatcher

They have finally arrived and are looking for a home.

Fisktärna - Sterna hirundo - Common Tern

It was low pressure and drizzling so all terns and gulls chased at the water surface

Sothöna - Fulica atra - Eurasian Coot

That is quite a nest she has created. It is the first time I have seen the Coot with such a visible nest. And there is another one also that has the nest a Horned Grebe used last year.

Rörhöna - Gallinula chloropus - Common Moorhen

The moorhen is shy and hard to spot. But today I was lucky. This one I have seen before and it probably has a mate and nest. Today I also spotted one on the other side of the road so maybe there are two couples. Now I´m looking forward to see chicks. :)

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.
