That´s it folks. This event took only one minute. The heron was able to land in the grass and the eagle had to give it up. I think the heron was safe on the ground as it can use it´s beak as a weapon then.

As a photographers point of view it was a pity that they came in back light making most of the images dark and noisy. But I will probably never see something like this again so I´m pleased anyway.

I hope you liked it too.

People are a bit strange I think. I have posted two images before and everyone feel sorry for the heron. Of course it is bad fighting for ones life. But as a reality of life I feel sorry for the eagle. It got no dinner. There are maybe a thousand grey herons in the area but only one or two eagles. And everybody love eagles, don´t they?

I was at Sjöholm to check out the Common snipes when the birds was disturbed. Looking up I had this beauty almost overhead. At first I thought it was a juvie but checking out the shots today I see it has the white tail. In the second shot, the shadow from the low sun, makes it look really weird in its head. I almost thought it was a Great Cormorant for a while. The belly and throat is in the sun but not the wings.

I was birding at Hjälstaviken this weekend with a female network called Rapphönan. As it is migrating times we look a lot on the sky. In the last shot, the geese is not really that red. It is the setting sun that is coloring them.

I was out for a long walk yesterday as the sun finally came out.  When I was almost home again this one came flying over the villas. Not often seen in town really. Loved the sight. But I almost scared some people in the house. They thought there was something wrong with the roof. Well, I could asure them it was fine. To bad thou they did not see the majestic bird.  :)

Havsörn - Haliaeetus albicilla - Sea Eagle / White-tailed Eagle

I was greeted by this beautiful Sea Eagle almost as soon as I arrived at the island Öland. 

I started birding at Bejershamn about 5 miles south of the bridge between Kalmar on the mail land and Öland. 

Grågås - Anser anser - Greylag Goose

The Greylag goose already had chicks. 

Gravand - Tadorna tadorna - Common Shelduck

This duck was searching for food and it´s companion at the shoreline. 

Gulärla - Motacilla flava - Yellow wagtail 

On the other side of the path was some wagtails looking for food. 

And lastly, today, just because I like it. A shot of some waders. But I don´t know who.
