Birding at Vännervass

 Click image to enlarge!

The boardwalk to get to the lake and birding platform on the small island is narrow. Walking through the reeds seem to take forever and then comes an old forest. 
This place is on the far side of the lake and difficult to reach. You certainly don´t want to get dizzy here. 

Mute swan - Knölsvan

There was a few ducks. I could recognice mallards and Eurasian wigeon. Three years ago there was thousands of tehm resting here on the way south. But two years of draught changed everything 😟

This is mostly greylag geese. Frightened by two sea eagles.

 "cormorant village"

White-tailed eagle - Havsörn

Here are the two eagles that stirred up the seabirds. They sit in the trees used by cormorants for nesting. The cormorants are already gone and the nests are empty. It is good that the cormorants are nesting in this remote area of the (still) lake. People don´t need to be disturbed by them.
I really hope it will come more rain to rise the water level or this will be a wetland instead of lake.

 I was aiming at the two White-tailed Eagles, the position of the moon was a bonus.

It was a strange day today. Dark thunderclouds and sunshine the whole day. It made the lapwings glitter against the dark clouds. Disturbed by the 4 eagles that was patrolling the area. A family no doubt.
