Coots and grebe

Coot on the run - Sprintande sothöna
Not often you are able to get some shots of the coots chase on water. Was lucky this time.

Horned Grebe - Svarthakedopping
Changing of the guard - Vaktombyte

I really was wondering what they were thinking. First a very late point in time for nesting. Chicks should be hatched by now. And then, such a narrow nest on the water surface. The egg is probably in contact with the water. Last year a pair, maybe these two, built a similar nest as this. It was abandoned after a week. I hope this will be more lucky.

Only two legged ones

A pair of Razorbills - Tordmule
I think the world needs some love these days. This is a photo from Scotland that I visited in 120626

The first Common Cranes has arrived. You can hear their call all over the landscape.

The greylag goose has been here a week or two, the coots arrived this week. Already full of mating energy.

Gadwall - Snatterand
We had three Gadwall males overwintering. But now females has arrived. But this couple probably arrived together.

I hope these ponds keep the water for the summer so the birds will stay. Two years in a row they dried out, but it looks good so far this year.

I hope everyone stays safe in Corona times. I for one are happy to see birds arrive, will keep me busy in sad times.

Finally the ice is almost gone. The birds starts to arrive, but so far, in small numbers. The deer finally comes out in the open. They have been very shy this winter.

Took a round trip today to check the ice condition on some wetlands and small waters. Most of the ice is gone. But the overall water level is too low.

I tested one of the setting for B&W photos on my HUAWEIP20Pro smartphone. I´m rather pleased with it.

Critters

The horses are in a Nature Reserve in Julita. I has some problem in the area. There usually are about 8-10 horses and they really seem to like human company. My problem is they come too close and wants to taste my backpack. :) And too close means no shots. :( I really liked the dark grey one but it was impossible to get a good shot.

The birds was an odd pair. The only two waders I could see and they kind off paired up.
It is a juv Dunlin and a Snipe.

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.

The Gadwall is a beautiful duck even if it don´t have much colors. This pair has been here for about 10 days but is not likely to stay. The gulls are staying though.

Just arrived from the south. This duck is very shy and almost impossible to get close to. This day I spotted it from the car. No traffic on the road so I turned around and drove slowly with open window. I was able to get a few shots before they dissappeared to the other side of the little lake.
