Skrattmås - Larus ridibubdus - Black-headed Gull

NF Photo  130517 Djulö Kvarn, Katrineholm

A very common gull but this one was differently colored in the head. And it was alone!
I don´t know if it is a Leucistic or just not finished it´s plumage.

Storlom - Gavia arctica - Black-throated Loon

NF Photo  130426, Pensionat Udden

 At the edge of the ice this beauty is swimming. The Loon. Later on it was joined by it´s mate but then they were too far off to get a shot.
 Note! It is not BW images. It was a mostly grey day with ice on the water. And not much color on the bird.

Birding Oxelösund harbour

Storskrake - Merganser (Goosander) and one other duck

 

 Can´t help but wonder what it he is looking at. :)

 

Vigg - Tufted duck

NF Photo  130329 Oxelösund

I and a fried went to the coast yesterday to check on the birds. There is supposed to be a Ring-necked Duck in the harbour area. As this is an American duck it is very rare in Sweden. There was probably more then 1000 tufted ducks to chack out in order to find the Ring-necked one. We spend 4h looking for it but failed. But then, of course, half way home we got word it was sighted. My friend was not to happy then. We did not have time to turn around and go back.

Shadow Shot Sunday   There are shadows here and there even if not that obvious.

A bird I really enjoy watching is the Lapwing. This day there were a lot of action going on in the small wetland. And I had fun time catching them. :)

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.
