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.

Fiskgjuse - Pandion haliaetus - Osprey

NF Photo 110812 at Valla viltvatten

I had seen this Osprey earlier when it was leaving the little wetland. I was looking elsewhere and did not see it coming back. I guess I reacted to the splash from the dive and turned to shoot. And had the bird coming right at me from behind the reed.  Instinctly I pulled the trigger and this is the actual shot. SOOC as they call it. Too bad I did not catch the entire face. That would have been cool.

Here I had time to turn around. It is not perfectly sharp but you can see the big fish it is holding.

And then it headed away to another bird high up in the air. Maybe a juvie.
