Bird Migration
These birds are heading south for the winter. Shot this scene on a rainy day at Stav in Tungelsta. Whooper Swans and Canada Geese on a field. They stayed for two days before flying south. Update, it is Greylag Geese.
I had a feeling I was wrong about the geese. I talked to a bird guy the other day who had seen this flock, but he wasn't sure. Thanks for the correction guys. I will make a note in the post.
A beautiful scene. I love whooper swans though I have not seen any in quite a while. We have a few greylag geese in the village where I live but nothing like these numbers.

Nice shots Steffe but they aren't Canada Geese, they look like Greylag geese to me.
ReplyDeleteNice to see bird migrations! Though I will correct you on the geese - those aren't Canada's, they look like Greylag Geese.

ReplyDeleteFine bilder. Every time I see the geese I`m thinking about Nils Holgerssons from "The wonderful Adventures of Nils" ;-)
ReplyDeleteWay cool. We're on the flyway for Canada geese. They can be mean - they bite people who get too close.
ReplyDeleteThey look quite happy there even if they only stayed for a short time!

ReplyDeletei really like the way you've posted this.
ReplyDeleteAny chance I will meet them here? I am tired of pigeons and gulls...
ReplyDeleteThat's me! Over there, next to that bird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sight! Lucky you.
