Smålom (Gavia Stellata), en fantastisk vacker fågel. En utflykt till Knuthöjdsmossen nu i augusti. Det var 10 år sedan sist så längtan efter att få besöka denna vackra plats igen var verkligen stor. Start tidigt på morgonen i god tid innan soluppgången. De första bilderna är tagna i mörker. Vi hörde lommarna hela tiden med sina karakteristiska "skrik".....och man ville verkligen vara på alla ställen samtidigt......
I den tidiga morgonen kunde vi så småningom urskilja några lommar som simmade omkring på den vidsträckta mossen. Dimman låg till en början tät.....
I det mjuka ockraljuset kunde man urskilja smålommen som simmade omkring i väntan på morgonens första flygtur.
Helt plötsligt bestämde sig nedanstående för att dra, som tur var, var jag på rätt plats här i motljuset.
När ljuset kommit såg man speglingarna i alla småsjöar som finns på mossen där smålommen häckar....och hur vacker denna plats är.....

SvaraRaderaTusen tack Anita ! Ja de "skriker" och "kacklar" och har en del ritualer för sig, bl.a. pardans och olika flygturer. Fascinerande att titta på !
RaderaGreat pictures of this beautiful place !
SvaraRaderaThanks very much !
RaderaHoi Lasse.
SvaraRaderaMooie opnames met het vroege licht en die Roodkeelduikers zijn mooie vogels, heb ze op Spitsbergen gefotografeerd, ze hebben 'n bijzonder geluid in het voorjaar bij de balts.
Groetjes Loes
Hi Loes, I agree it's a beautiful bird and to photograph it on Spitsbergen must have been a great experience !
RaderaIt is an exceptionally exciting bird to experience, Lasse, especially in the breeding season when its plumage is so stunning. I have had a similar experience in Scotland, although I have none of the wonderful atmospheric photographs you show us here.
SvaraRaderaHi David, Many thanks for commenting, and glad you have had the same experience in Scotland. It's a special feeling to approach them in the darkness of the morning :)
RaderaHello Lasse,
SvaraRaderaVery beautiful and atmospheric images. You did that very nicely. Great!!
Greetings, Marco
Hi Marco, Many thanks for your kind words !
RaderaPrecioso reportaje. Es impresionante ver como cambian las fotografías según va evolucionando la luz a lo largo del día. Un excelente trabajo.
SvaraRaderaUn abrazo y cuidate.
Many thanks Antonio, Glad you liked my series of Loon photos (and nature as well) !
RaderaHi Lasse,
SvaraRaderaYou must be a very happy man, to experience this nature and beautiful Loon in front of you!! I can feel the silence.
so beautiful light, colors and stunning flight movements of the Loon. Superbe!
Regards,
Maria
Hi Maria, I am a very happy man :) Glad you liked and felt the atmosphere of this magical morning !
RaderaHi Lasse,
SvaraRaderaLong, long ago I have seen this kind of loom in Sweden during a very early morning, floating in a lake. Unfortunately not the same kind of sunrise as you experienced, but I enjoyed it anyway. I certainly can believe that you had a fantastic morning , seeing this bird in the slowly but surely changing scenery. A great series to remember this magical morning.
Greetings, Kese

RaderaHoi Lasse,
SvaraRaderaWat een prachtige sfeerbeelden weer met de roodkeelduiker in de hoofdrol. Ik heb deze schitterende vogel hier nog nooit gezien evenmin als de parelduiker. Je hebt hem zowel in de mooie mistige sfeer als ook lekker scherp op het meer en zelfs in de vlucht. Mooi werk.
Groeten,
Ad
Hi Ad, Many thanks and I'm glad you liked my photos :)

SvaraRaderaWonderful that you saw and heard the red-throated loon. we have a different sort of loon here. I love hearing their calls.
SvaraRaderaThanks Tammie! Yes it is a special call indeed.
RaderaHi Lasse,
SvaraRaderafog when photographing often gives very atmospheric pictures. Likewise here with you. However, I think the golden light is really beautiful to see. Just great!
