Raptors and deers

Click image to enlarge!

This Fallow deer buck was watching me for a while before it took off, not to be seen again.

Fallow deer are back. Have no clue where they have been during the summer.

This week was pretty unusual to me. I saw raptors two days in a row. But I realized this is the time of year when the offspring is on it´s wings. And at this time they are more visible. I did see 3 birds flying of both the eagle and the buzzard. Parents and the offspring.

It is fun but you have to be lucky, being close to forest edge they come and go out of vision. And you really have to be fast to catch them. Especially when today´s cameras have a mind of it´s own 😠

This spring week in nature

Click image to enlarge!

I saw the Fallow deer´s on the field while I was cleaning up my car from dust. When I was done the deer´s were gone. There was people at the corner of the field so the deer´s took of.

I have now seen 3 pairs of the Horned Grebe in the pond. If the water stays it might be a fun summer for me.

I was sitting quietly on the slope between the road and the water. This one came very close so I could get some good shots. I like this shot as it is rare to be able to see the birds feet. Calm, clear water with good light made it possible.

The Green Hairstreak is out and flying.

I hope everyone is safe. I can move around pretty much as usual. At least when it comes to nature :)

Nature are waking up

Click image to enlarge!

Four of the Fallow deer bucks were out on the field. But they are sooo wary. First sight of me and they are gone. I have to be very cautious to not be detected. But the field have dried up so it is not that slippery anymore.

We call this one Forest lizard, this was ablut 12cm long head to tail

This is a Viper. It has venom but not that strong.

Some of the cold-blooded ones have woken up. In Sweden, all cold-blooded animals are considered to be endangered and may not be killed

Far out in the pond a pair of Gadwalls were swimming

I said hello and welcome the the first white wagtail 😀

And, these days, everybody needs a hug. This mute swan gives it to you.

I hope everyone is healthy and well. I can still go out in nature as long as we are not a lot of people going. But I always go alone so there is no problems. This week I started to shop food and such for friends not as healthy as I am.

Take care.

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.

Spring, birds and fallow deer

Click image to enlarge!

Common Merganser, common goldeneye and mallard

All males

Fallow deer bucks finally returned after the hunting season was over.

The Wigeon, Merganser and the Goldeneye are early migrators from the south. All males. And one of each.

As you can see our winter is still green. Weather service officially now say we have spring 1.5 months too early.

Winter is here

Click image to enlarge!

Fallow deer in the first snow.
This was the best photo my camera could make. They are far off to the other side of a very wet and muddy field. Impossible to walk on if you don´t want 2 kg dirt on your boots. Maybe that is why they always stay close to forest edge. Not that muddy and easy to run off.

This one is still alone. No friens showing up and now winter is here.

The fieldfare was very active this day. Searching for berries,

Rainy and foggy days critters

Click image to enlarge!

Dipper, still. only one has come. Upclose the fog is not visible.

Fallow deer
Bad sighting due to fog and a very muddy field. I did not go there thid day. Makes me wonder how it feels for them to sleep in that dirt?

The first Bohemian waxwing turned up in a treetop outside my balcony. I think the second one, among the branches, is a Great tit.

This weeks critters, birds and deers

Click image to enlarge!

Finally, the Dipper has arrived. This looks like a young one, the plumage is not that dark. I hope it stays and gets some company. Last year we had three of them. They are fun to watch.

In Lake Näsnaren there used to be thousand of the cots. This year there are, maybe, 150. 😟
I also saw 3 of the Smews in winter plumage, they too used to be hundreds (salskrake) 😟
Seems there were breeding issues for both species.

Fallow deer. It seems like it is the time for their rut. The herd was quite stirred. The huge buck was not there when I arrived. He came from behind me and run out in the field scaring the herd a bit and me too. He was clearly checking out some of the does. There was a few younger bucks too. But this was the main one. When he was done checking the does he came back in my direction. I thought he had seen me but luckily he did not. I was sitting in a cairn and quite safe. I did not really want any close contact with those antlers.
This buck is very dark in color so he might be the reason why so many of them tends to be darker every year.
It was a quite exciting day 😀
