Fallow deer, probably the last I saw of them for a while. The day after this shot there was a lot of machinery on the field so the farmer are supposed do work in the field. Which means.... no deer´s.

It was nice to see the damselfly as I did not expect it quite yet.

The roe deer

I was out for a walk and some fresh air and I wanted to check on some Lily of the valley growing there. It is close to my home and you can walk a path in a circle passing the lake that is behind the rocks in the first three images. Great place for jogging and walking your dog.

This day I saw this young Roe deer. Probably born last year. It was the first one I have seen this year. There used to be lots of them, but not any more. So I was happy to see it. We was walking in the same direction.  The first three images was taken with my cellphone. But then I figured the deer would appear further on crossing the path I was on. So I took my camera out of my backpack and waited. And, I was right. It did come. But that was the last I saw of it. It was heading up to a street with buildings. Not a good place for a young deer.

Take care, stay safe.

Spring Mosaic in Sweden

 Click image to enlarge!
Enjoying springtime this day.  This is a place about 25 km from my home.
The avenue leads down to a castle. The other images is from an enclosure that probably will be inhabited with sheep soon.

A good day

Northern wheatear - Stenskvätta
The first of the season :)

I had seen a few fallow deer´s on the field when I arrived to Boda Kvarn. But when I walked to the field they were gone. After photographing the Wheater I felt someone watching me. A closer look showed me who. This one was watching me. I got the feeling that this was the same Fallow deer that has been watching me before. Like standing guard when the others was hidden in the forest.

Grey wagtail - Forsärla
There seem to be some young somewhere. Probably the mother, it is not that strong in color.

White wagtail waiting for the postman.

Horned grebe - Svarthakedopping
These guys don´t seem to be bothered with me this year. These was just below my feet. I hope it stays that way. I would very much love to see young this year. It is several years since they succeeded nesting as the ponds water level was too low because of the drought.

I hope everyone can go outside and enjoy nature without any viruses around. Take care and stay safe.
