This is a rather common sight, yet it made me smile. It is impossible to stop at that bridge without the mallards coming marching to you. Hoping to get bread or whatever people feed them with.

They look great in black and white I think. :)

This is my last post for a while. I am leaving to Arlanda airport on Wedneday. Beginning my birdingtrip to Costa Rica. I´ll be gone about 3 weeks with travelling days. When I come back I hope to have a LOT of shots to share. Both from the birds and from the country.
Just had to share these shots before I leave.

Hona - Female

She was just sitting there looking great. Maybe I saw her because she was alone. She was really goodlooking where she sat in the snow.

Hane - Male, he came after a while.

Note that cool little crest on it´s head. This bird is new to me and two days ago I only got one bad shot at it. Now I got several shots that´s OK. This place is not really good for photography. Too much trees and bushes makes it hard to get good shots. :)
