Boda Kvarn a rainy day

© NF Photo 201213

This is Boda Kvarn, an old mill about 20km from my town. Kvarn means mill in English. This place is now a kind of museum. A group of people takes care of it and closes and opens the dam when needed. Right now it is rather much water as it has rained a lot. This is also the place where there used to be Dippers in wintertime. There was one a few weeks ago but it seem to have left. They like colder weather and it is unusually warm this winter. I hope it comes back!

Critters a snowy day

 Click image to enlarge!

We finally got some snow. Snowy day no two was sunny so I took the cameras and went to Boda Kvarn. In the hope of seeing Dipper and deer. The lower water level made the dipper come back, and the fallow deer hinds were there too.

The lower force of the water made the white throated dipper come back.
And I got some snowy shots

A pair of whooper swans was present.

And then the fallow deer adventure. A herd of 16 hinds was present on the field.
Since they are always at the far end of the field, I have to sneak in to get close in hope that they do not notice it.

They all have snow on their noses.

After almost an hour on the field.  They know I am present and tries to figure out if I am a threat.

They took off but did not disappear, they stopped at the edge of the forest. I took LOTS of shots but better save some for another week.

Not just a Dipper

"Not just a dipper" 
I like both photos as beautiful nature photos. They have the feeling of a fairytale.
The stream seems more powerful and wild then it really is 😊

Dogs and birds

I was out for a walk, but these guys was jogging and passing me by.

Eurasian Jay - Nötskrika
They are usually noisy, but this one was alone and quiet.

Two grey wagtails juv are still here. They should have been gone by now. It is close to zero and they need to go south. - Forsärla

Across the small lake I noticed a grey heron.
I have not seen much of them this season so quite a rare sight.

Critters this week and long ago

Hornborgasjön is famous for the "Cranedance" during migration in spring. Lots of cranes and swans at that time of year.

Walked by the old anthill on my forestwalk a couple of days ago.  This one is a mark that tells you it is a healthy forest. I´m just a bit confused whay the pigs seem to leave it alone. They destroyed many of my mushroom places. The number of ants on the ground stops me from trying to get closeups.

This little snake, we call snok, tried to get up the side, but of course, it can´t climb a concrete side like this so, it ended in the water below. Flushed away. It was looking for fish.

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.

I met both the bees and the dipper two days ago. Not sure the bees was aware of what month it still is. There are no flowers for them to feed upon.
The Dipper was very kind to me this day. Best shots I got for two years.
