Butterfly got it wrong

This little butterfly (vitt nässelmott) visited my bathroom a couple of days ago. It had got the seasons all wrong. It should fly in august as far as I know.

to Forsjö and back by bike

Took an afternoon tour by bike around the Forssjö Lake. This view of swedish farmland goes straight to my heart. The bluewings flew on the other side of the road along with some other speices. It is quite fun trying to catch them "on film".

In hiding

Met a fellow that mirrowed my mood today. It was a Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa) hiding under wood. We call it "Sorgmantel" which is app "mourning cape" when translated.

Amiral butterfly and Grebe with new hatched chick

This beauty landed on a climbing wall for "adventure for kids school" in the forest. Took some pics and then slowly put my hand close to it. The swedish name is Amiral, Admiral in english. It climbed up on my fingers and wtayed there for several minutes. My problem was handling the camera with one hand and to get teh right distance. But I succeded. :)

And this beauty, my friend the Grebe has finally hatched some young. You can see one of them at the arrow. I could see two, but as she was still in the nest I think there were more eggs. This bird has accepted my presence. I arrive very slowly in my kayak. Today she was a bit alarmed, I understood why when I heard the sound of one young and then when I saw it on her back. That is why she has those rised feathers. This is her second batch, she lost the first.

I was lucky today.

Boloria selene

This fella brightened up my day today. Should be Boloria selene (brunfläckig pärlemorfjäril)
