For Ailsa this week’s theme is Subtle. Öland by the sea, deer and dancing lapwings in late evening light.
Birds
Travel theme: Youngsters
Youngsters – don’t we all love them!
# 180 Långväga – From far Away (154/365)
Över Ottenby flyger många tusen fåglar på sin väg norrut till häckningsplatserna – långväga gäster.
The skies over Ottenby are used by several thousands of birds every year on their way to their breeding places up north.
# 202 Mått – Measure (153/365)
# 70 Fjädrande – Springy (a play on words) (152/365)
Rödhaken får vingarna kontrollerade. Fjädrande. Checking a Robin´s wings.
#39 Bättre en fågel…A bird in the hand…(is worth two in the bush) (151/365)
Besök på Ottenby fågelstation på Öland – ett måste för alla fågelintresserade! Våra studenter blev väl omhändertagna – och fascinerade. Här en av mina egna absoluta favoriter – rödstjärten.
Ottenby – a must for all bird interested people! Our students were fascinated. Here one of my own absolute favourites – the redstart.
WPC: Early Bird
I’m afraid I’m not a natural early bird – but I have learned over the years. If I know I have to go to work or catch a flight or photograph something spectacular. I will be. An early bird. I have never regretted any early morning…
# 49 Djupdykning – Deep diving (136/365)
Vårpromenad i Magle – Spring walk in Magle Wetlands
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: Smooth
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…
