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.....
Nedan följer flera bilder i olika ljus. Det blev en mycket lyckad utflykt till smålommens rike, Knuthöjdsmossen. Längtar redan till nästa tillfälle....men det får bli nästa år för nu har de flyttat till varmare trakter.....

Great pictures of this beautiful place !
Hoi Lasse.
Mooie 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
It 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.
Hello Lasse,
Very beautiful and atmospheric images. You did that very nicely. Great!!
Greetings, Marco
Precioso reportaje. Es impresionante ver como cambian las fotografías según va evolucionando la luz a lo largo del día. Un excelente trabajo.
Un abrazo y cuidate.
Hi Lasse,
You 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
Thanks Mike, it sure is a beautiful place !
Tusen tack Anita ! Ja de "skriker" och "kacklar" och har en del ritualer för sig, bl.a. pardans och olika flygturer. Fascinerande att titta på !
Thanks very much !
Hi Loes, I agree it's a beautiful bird and to photograph it on Spitsbergen must have been a great experience !
Hi 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 :)
Hi Marco, Many thanks for your kind words !
Many thanks Antonio, Glad you liked my series of Loon photos (and nature as well) !
Hi Maria, I am a very happy man :) Glad you liked and felt the atmosphere of this magical morning !
Hi Lasse,
Long, 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

Hi Lasse, beautiful photos with beautiful birds. Have a nice weekend.
Oh, Lasse, such a wonderful report on your visit to these beautiful birds. From before subrise to the pictures of the bird in full sunlight. Marvelous to see the landscape changing - so beautiful. Also fantastic: the pictures of the running birds.
I enjoyed this post tremendously.
Best regards, Corrie
Hello Lasse
To know such a place and then to be there early enough and in peace, that is pure enjoyment of nature, if still such beautiful pictures are taken, it is a perfect day where it was worth getting up early, great pictures, great post

Hi Irma, thanks very much !
Stilig bildeserie av en vakker fugl.
Magiske stemninger!
Hoi Lasse,
Wat 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 :)
Tusen tack !
Hello Lasse,:=)
Magical atmospheric captures, showing the Loon in different lighting. Worth getting up early for these beautiful images. The reflections in the water even add more interest to your fine Photos.:=)
Hello lasse,
Wow, perfect pictures!
Beautiful
Regards Bert
Hi Sonja, Many thanks for comment !
Hello Bert, Thanks very much !
Awesome pictures
Read my new post
Wonderful that you saw and heard the red-throated loon. we have a different sort of loon here. I love hearing their calls.
Thanks !
Thanks Tammie! Yes it is a special call indeed.
Hi Lasse,
fog when photographing often gives very atmospheric pictures. Likewise here with you. However, I think the golden light is really beautiful to see. Just great!
Regards, Helma
