Vårpromenad i Magle – Spring walk in Magle Wetlands

11 april, 201511 april, 2015 / Leya / 21 kommentarer

Idag har varit den varmaste dagen i år hos oss – 23 grader C visade vår termometer i eftermiddag. Hundpromenaden förlades till Magle våtmark.

Today was the warmest day so far this year – 23 degrees C. The dog walk had to be at Magle wetlands.

En solig promenad med ljumma vindar – både vi och fåglarna trivdes alldeles utmärkt.

More than me and Totti were out walking today…

Färgerna är fortfarande bleka, men vårljusa och harmoniska.

The colours are still pale, but ”springy” in harmony.

Grågässen hade parkerat mitt på gångstigen, men lyfte snyggt så att vi kunde passera. Ingen reaktion på hunden alls.

The greylag geese had parked in the middle of the path, but soared lightly away when we passed.

Kanadagässen betraktade oss uppmärksamt på avstånd. Inte min förtjusning dessa gäster, men ganska vackra att se på. Smutsar dock ner kolossalt.

The Canadians (!) watched us attentively from a distance. Not my favourites these, but rather beautiful birds to look at. Unfortunately they leave so much of unpleasant things on the paths and close to the water.

Denna praktfulla padda stelnade i steget och lät mig fotografera från flera håll. När jag var klar klev han lugnt vidare över gången mot vattnet.

This beauty froze in this position for minutes – for me to photograph him, surely. And, when I was finished, he slowly crawled down to the water. Maybe I should have given him a kiss?

A gallery from the rest of the walk! No swans today – they are always here in the early morning, but not now.

Travel theme for Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? Smooth. My response is about some of the smoothest things I know:

Well worn wood, the soft covering on garlic and birds swimming smoothly in soft water. This one also captured the fish very smoothly – and let it slide down easily as well…

For Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? I have chosen my home outdoors – close to where I live. I spend most of my time walking there.

Spring is on its way here…but only slowly, slowly showing. Frost every night now – keeping the flowers and buds at bay. There are a few sunbathing butterflies and some shy anemonies though, for the most part hanging their heads in the cold wind. Signs otherwise? Seems to be all about twigs…birds, ants and humans alike!

# 362 Ögonkast – Glance (120/365)

Det var verkligen inte många av alla de hundratals råkor i Lund som spatserar, flyger, plockar pinnar, häckar – och smutsar ner… som ville agera linslöss, men den här gav mig i alla fall ett nyfiket ögonkast!

Not many of these rooks (hundreds of them during my walk in Lund) wanted to be photographed – but this one even glanced at me curiously…Even if they often are quite a nuisance – isn’t he/she rather a pretty one?
