Det är dåligt med fåglar hos mig nu så jag visar lite resebilder. De är vuxna vid 4 års ålder. Här..3 olika åldrar på medelhavstrut fotade i Venedig och Camargue

There are not much birds around here now so I show some from from travels. They are adult when they are 4 years old. Here... 3 different ages of the Yellow-legged Gull shot in Venice and Camargue

Tornseglare - Apus apus - Common Swift

NF Photo 100505 in Saintes Maries de la Mer, Capitale de La Camargue

May 5th 2010. This was quite interesting. There were about 40 Swifts gathering in this place high up in, I think, an old church. Late afternoon and raining. I could never see what was on that spot where they gathered. I am not sure, but I think the bird in the middle never left the wall. The others came and flew away and came back. Trying to join the centergroup.

I´ve been wondering what they were doing. Anyone that has an answer? Then please tell me.

White Stork on wiki

The white Stork was earlier a common spieces in southern Sweden. But then it dissapeared for different reasons. Now it is reintroduced. They breed them and let the birds free when it is appropriate. And now we have a small population of them in the southern part of Sweden.
