Birds and a butterfly

 Click image to enlarge!
Mute swans in Backa lake. Nicely backlit!


Grey heron at Djulö 
This was a rare sight. I see grey herons now and then but they keep staying on the other side of whatever water they visit. This was one of the cold weeks and all other lakes was frozen. 


Field fare having lunch outside the building I live in. Probably one of the kids living here throw the apple away. Good for the bird.


At Eriksbergs castle about 20 km from my town they have a feeding place for Mallards. 
I think this is all mallards. I did not notice any other bird. 


Finishing off with a butterfly, Banded mapwing, seen in Costa Rica 2011
It is, kind off, nice to go through old photos. Freshing up old memories. The photos are proof of what I have actually done. The brain have no possibility to fake the memories the photos show. Or ignore it as irrelevant!  If you wonder why I write this, I read a lot of science and our brains is not trustworthy. But the photos are.

  2. You had me doing a double take for a minute with that butterfly, until I realized that it was seen in Costa Rica! The heron looks like it is waiting for spring along with the rest of us!

  4. If I didn't have my photos, I would never remember what I saw or when! I'm usually surprised at how long ago I saw something when it seems like last year...or last month! lol Love the Heron, what a beauty!
