Sörmlandspaddeln

Last wednesday there was a kayaking race for beginners aged 12 to 16 years old. For some of them it was their first race so they were quite exited. As I am in charge for the clubs homepage I was documenting the event with my camera and posted it on the site. (in swedish)

Grey Heron - gråhäger

On a distance I had problems determine wheater this was three herons or three branches. Turned out to be one Grey heron. Image taken in the kayak.

Wagtail / Sädesärla

A common bird, but soo hard to catch. I was surprised to see this one actually pose.

Barnswallow / Ladusvala

Captured this barnswallow in the barn where I keep the kayak. Took a lot of pics before I got this one.

Downy Emerald / Guldtrollslända

Met this guy yesterday. The Swedish name means Golden dragonfly. So, kind of an expensive acquaintance I guess. Met it in the forest, not by a lake.

Flying free


Imagine how it was.........sitting in the kayak trying to capture that bird overhead. Quite challenging to keep the body still, when instinct wants to follow the movements of that bird. Not to go overboard.

Latticed heath and duck having fun

Latticed Heath (Rutig Buskmätare), a very nice butterfly. Seen images of it before but this was teh first one I captured "on film". Or maybe "on memorycard" would be more proper today.

This duck had a lot of fun smashing water. Don´t know why she did it but it was fun to watch.
