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?

# 213 Ofärdig – Disabled (115/365)

Den här råkan (Corvus Frugilegus – namngiven av Linné på 1700-talet) hade problem med ett ben, var med ett gammalt ord ”ofärdig”, men tog sig fram bra ändå. Ville dock inte vara med på bild.

This Rook (named by Carl von Linné Corvus Frugilegus ”food-gathering”) was rather disabled by a nonworking leg, but seemed to survive anyway. Didn’t want to be photographed, though.

My trip to Gdansk brought many opportunities for this challenge of Cee’s..I have shown these shots before, I think, but my memories are sweet and warm from this sunny trip.

# 253 Sjöfågel – Sea bird (97/365)

Jag är inte så bra på att artbestämma när det gäller sjöfågel – men det här är en gräsandshona. Hon har en mjuk, moderlig blick.

This mallard has a soft and motherly eye…looking at me.

WPC: Reward

Last spring we drove up to the middle of Sweden to see the cranes dancing at Hornborgasjön. We managed to find the perfect day – absolutely clear and sunny. During the following night, we waited for two hours for the more than 19000 cranes to return from their night quarters to the shores of the lake. Seeing them flying in at 5 a.m was our fantastic and unforgettable reward.
