Whooper swans as and juv Photographed in Hornborgasjön 7 years 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.

This weekend I´ve been to Lake Hornborga (Hornbogasjön) to look for the cranes and swans that stops at the lake during their migration up north. There are also geeze and ducks and whatever bird you like. This weekend there was about 1850 cranes and probably the same amount of Whopper swans. That is very low what the canes concerns. As far as I know there usually are at least 5 times that number. But this year the weather is too bad and the cranes is still in Germany and other countries further south. Waiting for the weather to change. There is hardly any open water in the lake and due to that very low number of ducks. But still we had a great weekend.
Enough for now! There will be other posts in the Birdblog and the Travel blog later on.
