Tofsvipa - Northern Lapwing

The first arrivers for the season

Skäggdopping - Great Crested Grebe, a looner
When I enlarged this shot, it was taken across the lake in backlight, I saw that it looks funny. It kicked a lot so it might be injured.  Or maybe loosing feathers.

Grågås - Greylag goose

On my walk today I heard the cry of geeze. So I thought I continue to the next lake where they use to breed. And I saw them. There were two of them, greylag goose,  far out on the ice. I say, welcome to Sweden!

Trädkrypare - Certhia familiaris - CommonTree creeper

Today I spotted another treecreeper. But there are no way to know if it is the same as the other day or if it is onther one. At least this time I saw the head. :)

Another bird I have not seen all winter is the gråsiska - Carduelis flammea  - Common Redpoll. But it came today.
