 I took these shots in the end of may as they just arrived back to Sweden. It sang beautifully. This is the male. I did see the female too but she was shy and did not want her picture taken.

This one scared the h-l out of me. I had not seen him and he flew up right beside me and darted away in front of me. When he was gone I just wondered what the h-k happened .

Looking at the images he does not look that pretty. Seem to be molting. Probably the same one I saw two weeks ago.

 Today I share some images of the Yellow Wagtail. They were taken in May 27. But not published yet. They had only arrived to Sweden at the time. I think it is a pair.

I saw this "liftoff" when I arrived to Knutstorp.  Looking up I spotted a Marsh Harrier but it was too far away to get a shot. It took a bout 5 min till the Lapwings settled again and I could get closer.

The Grey Wagtail is still here. I did see a third so they have a juvenile too. If you look carefully in the second image you can see both of the adults.

I visited the Arboretum yesterday and did see one Jay. I walked around among the trees and there is another Jay. It turned out to be 4 or 5 of them. A family. Quite hard to spot in the branches but I was happy. The bird in the first image was clearly checking me out before taking off. In the last shot there are 2 of them sitting on a branch. In another post I will share some of the trees in the Arboretum.
