 Snok! This snake has no venom. And it is very curious. It is my "spirit animal"

I and a friend visited Kvismaren a week ago. It was not fun! This place was crowded with birds when I first came here. But last year it was scarce and this time even less. There was more birders then birds :(  Most years at this, migration, time used to be thousands of geese, cranes and swans. Not to mention ducks. It is a sad thing to see what happens to nature and wildlife.

One part of this place, Öby kulle, is known for its snakes. Many people come here in spring to see them wake up and rest in the sun to get warmed up. There used to be two species but I only saw one of them. My favourite the Snok. This one is a swimmer and feeds mostly on fish.

On our way home we spotted a group of Fallow deer bucks. I was able to take a few shots through the car window.

This week we already had several forest fires in the south part of Sweden. That is not normal.  I am selfish and hope they will stay out of my neighborhood.
