I have not seen any more activity at that birdhouse so I guess the house was not pleasing. They seem to have choosen an other one.

Water fowl Good and bad

 Sothöna - Fulica atra - Eurasian Coot
The two on the image is not the same family. The Ad probably thought the baby got too close and chased it away. As you can see the Ad bites the baby around the neck. It came out unharmed though. This might be the same Ad individual that robbed the nest of Black-headed gulls two weeks ago. Is it bad behaviour of one individual or is it common among Coots? I have never seen it bfore.

 Rörhöna - Gallinula chloropus - Common Moorhen

 This one never comes close enough for a decent shot. I have only seen one but there is probably two. Have not seen any chicks yet.

Knipa - Bucephala clangula - Common Goldeneye
A beautiful family, isn´t it?

It was kind of fun to catch this bird in the middle of the city of Reykjavik, Iceland. Local birders told me it is Arctic Tern.

This morning I woke up early and decided to go birding before breakfast. There is a place rather close where you can take a short forest walk and down to a small lake. If lucky there might be a bird or two there. And this morning I got myself a new species. This one is not that uncommon but it is mostly hidden and hard to find. Not it was sitting easy to spot in the treetop. With the camera ready I manage to get a few shots. It belongs to the woodpecker family.
