I went to the forest feeder and the lake yesterday. At the feeder I noticed great spotted woodpecker, nuthatcher and a female Eurasian Siskin. At the lake most ice was now gone and replaced with graylag goose and lots of coots. Spring IS here!

Bird life at Östra Vingåker

The Grey heron was repeatedly attacked by a Black-headed Gull. Not sure why as I could not see a reason. There was also another heron that was not attacked. Finally this one had enough and flew up to the top of a tree. Last image is another Grey heron. 
The geese are graylag geese already comming together to prepare migration back south.

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.

New life to the land

Finally the birds are returning. In this first wave there are Whooper swans and different kind of geese. I have id:ed four kinds of them. They are all so welcome. A few ducks has arrived but not on this location. Here are only Mallards. The greylag goose in the last shot, through the tube, was standing in that position for 2 minutes, at least. Almost as it was frozen.

Canadian and Greylag goose and...

There are a lot of hybrid birds among the candian geeze. Some of them looks crazy in the heads. The parents are probably Canadian and greylag goose. And maybe, the whitest one, might be Barnacle goose but I´m not sure. Probably more likey they are "suffering" from leucism. I wonder if the two spieces will finally become one?

Gathering and taking off

The Greylag goose is a common  bird around here. They are the first to arrive in the end of March. Now the offspring are almost grown so the birds are gathering in flocks to eat before leaving the country again. I think they are quite boring. But for some reason I always like to see them from behind. I think you can see why. It is the only bird I don´t get sorry when they turn their backs on me and takes off. They have beautiful tails.  :)
