 Sävsparv, hane – emberiza schoeniclus - Reed Bunting, male

There seem to be sometning wrong with the eye on this little guy. To bad I could not get closer to be sure. But it looks strange around the eye and bill.

This Reed Bunting sat in a treetop at Aberlady Bay. I guess it did not appreciate a bunch of Swedes approaching it. Better safe then sorry, it took of.   :)

Birding today

Sjöholmsladan wetland, NF Photo 120423
This is one of the places outside town where I can see some migrating birds.

Årta - Anas querquedula - Garganey

In that pond I saw this annoying bird today. So hard to get a shot of it. Every time I push the trigger it is gone. It is a small duck and hides in the grass or reed. And don´t want to be shot at. :(

Fiskgjuse - Pandion haliaetus - Osprey
Leaving the place I heard a sound above. Looking up to see this osprey. :) 

 Sävsparv – emberiza schoeniclus - Reed Bunting
Next place I found this reed bunting singing his heart out. I did not see if there were any females around to hear it. 

Svarthakedopping - Podiceps auritus - Horned Grebe

The grebes went golden. I forgot to change the white balance. It was set to shadow and the sun was shining. I think that made this golden color. I kind of like it though, it suits the birds. :)

Today I like  to show you this weeks highlight. Birding is somewhat distressing. Sometimes you find nothing to see, other times birds are just there. When you least expect them to. But that is what is exciting about it, isn´t it?

The first bird, the Pochard, was swimming quietly down at the local little beach. Just 5 min from my apartment. I have not seen that one before so it was a nice surprise. 
The Goldeneye pair showed up at a small wetland, in my town, I use to visit now and then. And stayed put so I could get some nice photos.
The last one, the Reed Bunting, was nice to see in it´s present plumage. I had not seen that one before, only a female. So that one made my day today. :)
