I finally saw some eagles. But I still has not got what I wanted. I wanted them on the ground, feeding. But it seems like the hunters hasn´t got any big game. So that might be the reason why the eagles are reluctant or absent. Lots of blackbirds though.

Thought I show you a rare bird I was lucky to see in Camargue. I think it lives only in northern Africa. It was really a treat to see it sailing overhead. :)

Havsörn - Sea eagle
 NF Photo 101020
I was not that lucky with the eagles. I got only one shot, the one above, on my way to the shelter. It flew away before I even got close. :(  The hiding was a mess. The door was stuck and I had to work hard to open it. Then I had to clean out a lot of spiders web and leafs. Obivously  noone used it for a long time. And the cattle to were curios about what I was doing. They belong an "open landscape" project I think as there are both cows and bulls. And young. 
Sidensvans - Waxwing

I mentioned before that the waxwing are early at this location. This year will not be good for them. Last year there were tons of berries on the trees. But they did not need it then. There were food all over the place. Now the trees are empty. Some bushes has berries but  the rowans (rönn) are empty. There seem to be lots of birds as there were much food last winter. This year many of them will starve. :(

Ormvråk - Common Buzzard


Korp - Raven
NF Photo 101015

Yesterday I went to a place outside my town. It is a place where they use to put out slaughtering leftovers for the eagles. It is hunting season now and I was hoping they might have started the feeding. But I could not see anything and felt no smell of it. Never the less, the ravens were at the site. So something was going on. Maybe next week the eagles will be there.
I did not see the eagles, but I spotted a Common Buzzard. And it looks exactly like a bird I have seen before at the opposite side of the town. About 30 km from where I was yesterday.

Salskrake, honfärgad - Mergellus albellus - Smew, female color
NF Photo 101012, at Näsnaren
A bird I only get lousy pics on.
Fotokommentarer på Artportalen:
Tomas Svensson : En honfärgad salskrake!
Max Allan Niklasson: Bläsandens huvud har en mer rundare form på huvudet: ganska hög panna i jämförelse med hjässan, vilket brukar synas på långt håll. Runt ögat ser det ut som den är sminkad då den är ganska mörk kring det, bläsanden alltså. Sedan ligger bläsanden mycket högre i vattnet likt en gräsand, medans Salskraken ligger lågt i vattnet likt en knipa.
