"Family",,

From "my" summer meadow...the caring mother....and the deer kid. The kid has now lost it spots in the fur. It is growing fast now but still dependent on its mother.


And I am the king (below)....he is on his peak now this year. He is great and in good shape. He will see to that his genes will be in next years kid. Hope he will survive the hunters in August.

Osprey part I,,

Many thanks all bloggfriends for nice comments ! Regretfully, I am still not able to make comments on your bloggs.....

Have been on a photo trip to the central parts of Sweden. Got the opportunity to join a photo safari to get in close contact with the osprey. It was a successful trip with many photos to take home on the memory card... I will post some pictures here now......and more to come......
The claws are huge and terrifying when the osprey dives towards the prey....In many cases the bird is completely below the water surface and then "fights" up to the surface and flies away with the prey....

Here the osprey has fought its way to the surface and gained air under its wings and can fly away with the fish. Most of the time it succeeds ...but it actually happens that it can not lift because the fish is too heavy. It has happened that the osprey has drowned because the fish has pulled the osprey under water.....

The chicks are big now and demand a lots of food. Here below the osprey lands in the nest with the catch in its claws......!
