Summer

Long time no see :) 2016 summer is here and there is hope for new life everywhere... Like those beautiful dandelionseeds are the beginning of more dandelions...

Common buzzard - Buteo Buteo

This magnificient bird was carefully watching me drive pass while she was probably keeping an eye on the field as well so that the pray wouldn't stand a chance against her good eyesight and hearing.

Regulus regulus - Goldcrest

Regulus regulus - Goldcrest, is one of the smallest birds in Europe. Small and cute bird is very active and constantly on the move. With cold winters they tend to be relatively brave, since feeding is their main concern.

Snowy slopes

Raven and the tough winter

I spent a day with couple of ravens - one of the biggest passerines. This bird is a magnificent black feathered fellow with a strong neck and peak.

With such an impressive appearance raven has a part in many different myths and people have associated them with afterlife, world creation and many other interesting stories for ages.

I have to say for me raven always gives a good feeling of a big wild forest when you can hear the echo of their cawing.

This time the winter has been cruel with the temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius. But looks like the ravens are hanging on!
