Weekend

Yesterday evening as a wonderful one, filled with geese and cranes at Hjälstaviken. The top species of the day were Grey Plover and Black-tailed Godwit. Here are some pictures I took:

Starling - Stare - Seregély (Sturnus vulgaris)
There were around 3000 Barnacle Geese in the area:

All the time, flocks of geese and cranes flew around us, somtimes close, sometimes far away. I find the Moon to be a great photo-subject, especially when birds are involved in the picture.

 Today (sun) was spent in Asköviken. Really boring weather, but a few nice birds were flying around:
Northern Goshawk – Duvhök – Héja (Accipiter gentilis)
Until today, I haven't got to see Great Grey Shrike close enough, only very far away. My best picture of it was just a few grey pixels. Today I got really close to one of these beautiful shrikes:
Great Grey Shrike – Varfågel – Nagy őrgébics (Lanius excubitor)
 I think this picture was the best one from this weekend:
