In the last image the pair seem to say "can´t you see we are building a nest, leave us be will you".
The images is taken in a Nature Reserve outside my town. It is about old nature features. The Long tailed tits was gathering feathers laying on the forest floor. Probably from a Blue Tit.

I did see two juvenile Wood pigeons yesterday. It´s strange as they should be in the south part of Europe by now. They are probably from a very late group of fledglings in October.

These herons is a group of 5, 2 ad and 3 young.
This was yesterday, a very grey day but the grass is still green and lush. But, this is really next years crop.
As soon as they take off you see what´s behind it. The railway powerlines and the city.

 Met a small family of Long Tailed Tits when I was on my way to the supermarket. It was already darkening but I manage to capture this little curious one. It obviously is curious about me and what I am doing.

I was surprised when I arrived to the lake a couple of days ago. I was expecting graylag geese. Instead there was about a hundred mute swans and one whooper swan. And a few ducks here and there. The swans usually gather here but not this early. Does that mean the breeding was not successful? I did not see any young birds in the group. Anyway, it was a beautiful sight. And a lot of action in the group too.

This is a behavior I have not noticed before. The adult took a white feather from it´s belly and gave it to the young who ate it. The behaviour is mentioned in the Swedish part of wiki. It is also mentioned on What Bird but the function don´t really seem to be known.

A very common gull but this one was differently colored in the head. And it was alone!
I don´t know if it is a Leucistic or just not finished it´s plumage.

Some days everything works so well you almost get stunned. I did not se many birds but things that I liked.  The Long Tailed Tit was searching for food right in front of me. At least for a minute. And then the Blue Tits was playing around with each other. This is a pair I think. The darker one the male. Checking each other out. The swans was in the lake about 10 min walk from the location of the others. This is probably a family where the youngsters just got their adult plumage.

Nice, those guys came back this morning. There was 5 of them as I could see. So now I got some rather good shots of them. This is the best ones so far.

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.  :)
