I am always happy when the terns arrive in spring. I love everything about them and love trying to catch them in flight. They are quick and a challenge to capture. Today however they stayed put on the poles in the company of a little wagtail. Next time, maybe, I get some fun. :)

Svartvit flugsnappare- Ficedula hypoleuca - Pied Flycatcher

They have finally arrived and are looking for a home.

It was low pressure and drizzling so all terns and gulls chased at the water surface

Sothöna - Fulica atra - Eurasian Coot

That is quite a nest she has created. It is the first time I have seen the Coot with such a visible nest. And there is another one also that has the nest a Horned Grebe used last year.

Rörhöna - Gallinula chloropus - Common Moorhen

The moorhen is shy and hard to spot. But today I was lucky. This one I have seen before and it probably has a mate and nest. Today I also spotted one on the other side of the road so maybe there are two couples. Now I´m looking forward to see chicks. :)
