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

NF Photo  130225, Nävertorp

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.  :)

On our way to the spotting place on Lake Hjälmaren I spotted these iceicles

Me with a borrowed spotting scope. Since I bought my own I always get in trouble. What to bring? I am mostly a photographer. To see a bird 2 miles away and not have a photo is not in my interest really. Today we were supposed to walk over the lake and maybe in hip high with snow. Impossible to bring it all. So I chose the camera equipment as I was hoping for some eagleshots.  It was sunny and quite nice. -15 when we left at 8.00. But it got warmer pretty quick.

So, what about the birding? We spotted some Common Redpoll in the trees. And a Common Buzzard on our way home. But sitting in the car there was no photo on that one. So... eagles?
Those who counted said there was 26 to be seen during the two hours the count was on. But they were so far away that even with my 500 mm lens, and an expander, I did not see more then the photo shows. It is possible to see probably 3 eagles and some black birds. Raven, Jackdaw or Crows. But no chance of telling if the eagles are sea eagles or bald ones.

En kungsörn och två korpar - One Golden eagle and two ravens

(en kommentar säger att det är en havsörn och två kråkor, men gav ingen motivering. A comment sais it is a seaeagle and two crows, but gave no motivation to why)

Skådartur på cykel - Birding by bike

Idag cyklade jag ut för att leta reda på ett ställe där det brukar komma örnar. Och jag hittade det. Jag tror jag såg 6-7 st och både havsörn och kungsörn. Dessutom såg jag korpar. (Jag tyckte ju att kajorna var lite väl stora. ) Nu blev det 3 till för fågelbloggen

På väg tillbaka hamnade jag mitt i ett jaktlag. En massa karlar stod och sköt gräsänder för glatta livet. De sade att det var ingen fara att passera för de sköt bara uppåt. Men nog kändes det rätt otrevligt. Och att se änderna trilla ner i ett moln av fjäder var inte heller så kul.

Någon i jaktlaget pratade engelska. Tar de hit folk för att jaga änder?

Jag såg bla Kungsörn, Havsörn, Sångsvan, Knipa, Gräsand, Korp, Grönfink och gulsparv.

Today I took the bike to go and find a place where there were supposed to be some eagles. And I found it. I saw two kinds of eagles and then I spotted Ravens. (I thought the jackdaw was a bit big :) )

On my way back I ended up in the middle of a duck-hunt. A lot of people shooting mallards. That was not fun. To se the birds falling out of the sky in a cloud of feathers. A man said it was no danger to pass as they only shoot upwards, but it was somewhat scary anyway. Some of the persons spoke english. Do they bring people here to hunt ducks?

I spotted among others: Golden eagle, Sea eagle, Whooper Swan , Common Goldeneye, Mallard, Craven, European Greenfinch and Yellowhammer.
Now I have 3 more to ad to the blog :)
