Whopper Swan in morning light  - Sångsvan i morgonljus
  NF Photo 130406 at Hornborgasjön

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.

I can´t remember seeing this before. They looked like white leavs of the giant waterlily. This is a stream and the foam shaped them. Cool to see them moving up and down in the waves.

Catching the light can be tricky when there is a minimum of light to work with. Sweden looks mostly like this now.

Ibland behöver inte blommor särskilt mycket för att växa. Finns väl inte mycket jord på en srenvägg.
Sometimes flowers don´t need much to grow. On a wall is not much dirt, right? :)

Thanks to Anna for the name.  Campanula
