Whenever I pass by Årsta Castle in Österhaninge I can see (and hear), a flock of birds. It's a group of Northern Lapwings that seem to spend a lot of time on a field in front of the castle. This time I decided to stop and grab a few photos. The birds apparently knew what I wanted because they started circling above me as soon as I reached for the camera.
Skywatch Friday.
wow! great capture!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have birds who cooperate with photographers! Great photo.
ReplyDeleteand still, trusting things not seen.
ReplyDeletealways two hands of air beneath his wings and a wonderful friday for you all.
Wow. You can almost see bird evolution, looking at this. Great capture.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bird I don't think I have ever seen. He is showing off for you.
ReplyDeletegreat shot.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot!
ReplyDeleteThat pictures just makes me want to fly... Better see if Southwest has any good prices for flights.
ReplyDeleteseriously, very nice shot.
belle prise photographique, il est tres beau
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others: great work, Steffe. I love the glossy green sheet on his back when I take the link. Here in Australia we have three variety of Lapwing: Masked, Spur Wing and Banded. The first two I see a lot of. Don't think I have ever seen a Banded LW though.
ReplyDeleteStunning image, Steffe. Very sharp.
ReplyDeleteneat shot, I dont think we have that type of bird here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the birds are cooperative!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a bird of that kind. Such a difficult shot but you have made it look easy.
ReplyDeleteWhen birds cooperate, it's a great feeling.
ReplyDeleteI shot it from the road side. The traffic here isn't too bad, but they do drive very fast sometimes so I had to keep one eye on the traffic as I chased the poor birds around!
ReplyDeleteThis is superb, Steffe! Frame it and hang it!
ReplyDeleteThis is very good. Great job, Steffe.
ReplyDeletewow - there goes the theory about working with animals and children...
