When I opened this imae tody I was surprised. The change from the original is rather large. But I will not share that one here. This looks like an old image in a fairytale book. And seeing it today it actually gave me some additional ideas to work on when winter hits us. I might ad a deer beside the tower. Or I go take another image from another angle. Could be used for the old tale of the princess with the long hair. Not really what I usually do, but if I find the right images to work with, who knows.  :)

Birding tower

This is the birding tower that only important people can enter.  The rest of us may stay outside. In summer we can stay inside the fences while the young cattle is outside.  Enough of that, we finally got some snow for New Years Eve.

Wishing everybody a Happy New Year

Daubenton's bat, I think

Daubenton's bat - Myotis daubentonii, I think

© NF Photo 150926

For the first time ever I had a close encounter with a bat in Sweden. A little research told me we have 19 species of them and I think this one is a juvenile Daubenton's bat / vattenfladdermus. It flies mostly over water to catch it´s prey. And I found it at the birding tower at Lake Näsnaren. Seemingly learning how to fly. It did not seem good at it.
