I finally got to see this one up close. It is only the second time I´ve seen it. This is a female. She came to a feeder about 10 min from my home.  It is our smallest woodpecker.

A strange looking trunk in the treetop turned out to be  a Green Woodpecker. A bird not often seen where I live. I was lucky to get some shots when it took off. One really wonder how it could get free of all the branches. :)

Yesterday was a great day at the forest feeder. I was standing there watching the usual tits and nuthatchers when I noticed something different on the ground. Took a while before I realized it was a Treecreeper. Never seen it on the ground like that. So this time I got some nice shots of it from different angles. The last shot, that´s some great camoflage, don´t you think. :)

A rare guest at the forest feeder. I was happy to see it. I´m not sure if it is a male or female.

Lunnefågel - Fratercula arctica - Atlantic Puffin

NF Photo 120626 at Staple Island, Farne Islandss, Scotland

A new species from my Scotland trip. They were so much fun to watch and study. Did not see any young, they were still in the nests in the ground.

About Atlantic Puffin on wiki

This is interesting, quote from wiki:
 "When hunting, Puffins may collect several small fish, such as herring, sprats and sand eels, zooplankton, crustaceans and mollusks. The tongue is used to hold the fish against spines in the palate, leaving the bill free to open to catch more fish. The fish, which may number up to twelve, are held in the bill with the heads facing in alternate directions."

One of my favourite birds in Scotland.
Om Tordmule på wiki
About Razorbill on wiki
quote: "This agile bird chooses one partner for life; females lay one egg per year. Razorbills nest along coastal cliffs in enclosed or slightly exposed crevices. The parents spend equal amounts of time incubating. Once the chick has hatched, the parents take turns foraging for their young and sometimes fly long distances before finding prey."
