Havsörn - Haliaeetus albicilla - Sea Eagle / White-tailed Eagle

I was greeted by this beautiful Sea Eagle almost as soon as I arrived at the island Öland. 

I started birding at Bejershamn about 5 miles south of the bridge between Kalmar on the mail land and Öland. 

Grågås - Anser anser - Greylag Goose

The Greylag goose already had chicks. 

Gravand - Tadorna tadorna - Common Shelduck

This duck was searching for food and it´s companion at the shoreline. 

Gulärla - Motacilla flava - Yellow wagtail 

On the other side of the path was some wagtails looking for food. 

And lastly, today, just because I like it. A shot of some waders. But I don´t know who.

Gravand - Common Shelduck

Those two ducks were also in captivity on Malta. But I post them as they are better then the shots I have before. Or different. The colors are not totally correct. What appers to be blue markings on the Eurasian Teal are in fact green. The strong sun made it difficult I guess.

Öland trip tryout

Last saturday I went to Öland. I´ve been in Gamleby and Västervik ( 3 posts on NF Photo starting HERE) for a week and now I headed south. I did go to Öland for 2 reasons. I wanted to  try my tent.  I have not slept in a tent since I was a kid and now I wanted to see if this is something I shall do in order to get to where the birds are. With a tent you are free to go where ever and when ever you like.

My equipment, my mobile home. And, yes, it is quite OK to use.  :)

It was a good trip and I will do it again. But hopefully then there will be more birds. The only problem I had was to find the local Supermarket to buy food. Luckily I brought some with me. :(

The trip back home took 5 h with only one stop for gas and wc visits.
