I was lucky to arrive at the nest when the first one had hatched. First time I seen them soo young. Luckily the parents did not seem to mind me being there.

A visit to Kvismaren Nature Reserve

 This place was always crowded with ducks. Now it is almost empty!

 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.

One of my favorite images from my trip to Queensland in 2014. I have not shared it earlier as this guide was sick and did not have much time left to live. Now it is a few years back and if any relative sees it they might like it :)

Carl Uggla was the man behind this little park. It is located at the edge of my town.

Walking around the area waiting for the time to go to the gate, I spent some time watching and shooting. Thought this was a great opportunity for a reflection shot.
