Albinism - Leucism

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.

Birds this week

Sidensvans - Bombycilla garrulus - Bohemian Waxwing
NF Photo 111119, Katrineholm
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.

A beautiful young bird I could enjoy about a month ago. It is the markings, lines on the chest that tells it is a young one. :)

Råka - Corvus frugilegus - Rook

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!

Blåmes - Parus caeruleus - Blue tit

Probably Entita - Parus palustris - Marsh Tit
NF Photo 111108.

Blåmesen kom till min balkong för att kolla vad jag hade satt upp för strån där. Entitan hittde jag i skogen på en promenad.
The Blue tit came t my balcony to investigate what kind of straw I put there. The Tit was in the forest where I took a stroll.
