Lots of cranes are gathering now. They seem to thrive in Sweden nowadays. 15 years ago I rarely seen any. Now they are common. Probably because there are more wetland now. I wish I had the sound for the last shot. :)  You can´t miss a crane. You hear them.

This is one of the geese species that migrates to Sweden. I saw the first ones today. They are only passing through and will continue up north.

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.
