Lets Dance!
The new arrivals did not waste any time. I came to the little wetland and saw them chasing and challenging each other. Mating games I guess. Serious business for them, lots of fun for me. :)

I finally got a shot of the Tundra swan, bad one, yes, but still a proof I´ve seen it.

Om Mindre sångsvan på wiki, fr wiki:Det finns två raser av mindre sångsvan, nämligen den eurasiska Cygnus columbianus bewickii och den nordamerikanska Cygnus columbianus columbianus (som ibland kallas tundrasvan eller amerikansk tundrasvan).

New life to the land

NF Photo 120312 at Ökna

Finally the birds are returning. In this first wave there are Whooper swans and different kind of geese. I have id:ed four kinds of them. They are all so welcome. A few ducks has arrived but not on this location. Here are only Mallards. The greylag goose in the last shot, through the tube, was standing in that position for 2 minutes, at least. Almost as it was frozen.
