Whopper Swan in morning light  - Sångsvan i morgonljus

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.

A sunny day in January

Last friday I took the car and headed to my daughter and grandchilden. It was a sunny, finally, day and rather cold. And with newly fallen snow. I was lucky because when I spotted the two locations with mist I was actually able to stop the car. The road I was travelling is rather small so I was lucky.

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

Förra veckan var det Valborgsmäss. I Katrineholm sker firandet i Djulösjön. Här paddlar de ut för att tända brasan 
Last week was the Celebration of sprin where I live. We celebrate it in Djulö with fire and firework. The shot above shows canoes taking the fire to the bonfire

Brasan ligger vackert i Djulösjön. - The bonfire is beutifully placed in the lake

Kvällen slutar som sig bör med fyrverkeri, och de hade verkligen slagit på stort den här gången. 
The celebration ends with fireworks. And this year it was biggger then usual. Nice!
