Tornfalk - Falco tinnunculus - Common Kestrel

NF Photo 111004, Falsterbo Fyr

First time I got shots from this bird in Sweden so I was quite happy. They were really nice to watch. :)

We saw lots of them trying to migrate. Both this couple and others.  A common bird they say, but not where I live.

Albinism - Leucism

http://mimmisfotosida.blogspot.com/2011/11/en-mutant-eller.html

ska jag vara riktigt petig så finns det inget som är "partiellt albinistisk". Jag läste om det för ett tag sedan. Fågeln har Leucism. Vilket betyder att den har pigment och är normal förutom vita fläckar. En albino är helvit.


this is about miscolored birds with white spots.

Not often you see those guys on the ground. But they had fun in a small water puddle. This year we have a lot of them in my area. :)

Steglits - Carduelis carduelis - European Goldfinch
NF Photo 111119, Lillsjön

The Goldfinch is a bird I rarely see so I was happy when I suddenly spotted two of them. I am not sure if it is a pair but one of them seemed a little duller in it´s color.

Råka - Corvus frugilegus - Rook

NF Photo 111002 + 111003 in Falsterbo

Råkan har vi ju i sydsverige. Så jag hade inte sett den förut även om det är en vanlig fågel där. Jag ville ju ha bilder för bloggen men vår guide ville inte stanna bussen för en så vanlig fågel. Det tog 3 dagar för mig att få några bilder. Det är ju en fågel som trivs i samhällen och den var inte där vi var med gruppen. Men här är några bilder i alla fall.

This is a bird belonging to the crow family. We only have this bird in the southern part of Sweden so I had not seen it until I visited Falsterbo. But there it is a rather common bird. Which gave me some trouble. This bird did not go to the places we went with the group. It is a "city-dweller" I guess. And the guide did not want to stop the bus because of that common bird. But it is only common at that location. It took me 3 days to get some shots. I would have been pissed if I did not get a shot for the blog. Going home without a shot of a common bird? It happened to me twice before and I did not like it.

I think it is a great bird, just check out the beak!
