Well, white more or less.
I went to the riding school yesterday to see if I could find the beauty from last year. The roan colored one in the top images might be the one but I am not sure. But I wish this one did not have the fly cover on it´s head. They need them of course but it gives ME bad shots :)

The horses in the third image was in a different pasture. Maybe a km apart from the school.

I and a friend took a trip with the car and was luck y this place was open for visitors.

Övre Hävla Bruk (in swedish)

  A bad translation from wiki:
Upper Hävla Bruk or Hävla Hammarsmedja is a hometown museum and building memory at Hävla stream in the Skedevi parish in the Östergötland mountain range.

In 1682, the governor Jacob Henriksson Flemming (1640-1689) granted permission to manufacture smidable iron at the pouring power in the Skedevi parish. In the 19th century, the business was built and at the end of the 19th century, Hävla was one of the country's largest horse shoe suppliers. The smithy was in use until 1924.

Today, Hävla Bruk, called Nedre bruket, a modern industrial plant with the manufacture of steel products for the construction industry.

First time I was able to capture coot chicks in the nest. The chicks in the nest seem to be newly hatched, they are still wet. Not fluffy as the swimming one. I don´t think they are cute, but I find them charming.

Cormorant nesting colony. Lots of chicks there.

And some of the new inhabitants. Young Coot chicks.

I have known about the Cormorant colonies but have not investing it much as it is a bit tricky to get there. But now I really wanted to see the actual nesting. The trees are on a small island out in the lake. I needed my 400 lens and an adapter x2, makes it 800m lens to get this image. I had to fasten it on the birding tower fence to be able to take shots. Camera is heavy and it was windy.
The cormorant flying was shot with the 400 mm lens.


The gulls was skimming the watersurface to find food and sometimes even used the feet.

To finish off  the coots are hatching. This is for you Anni, I think I remember you loved them last year. These are maybe 2 or 3 days old. I have some new images not yet uploaded. Will try to post some next week.

Reindeer in Varanger a cold and snowy day.
I´m going through my files from the trip to Varanger in March 2015 as I am posting them to Instagram. I love the reindeers so I thought "cold" images would chill one off in the heat of summer.
