Winter is still coming
It is below freezing all the time at the moment and snow is forecast for tonight. A quick drive around Maridalen today revealed 3 adult Whooper Swans and a Goldeneye on the lake, a male Goshawk over and a few Bullfinches and Yellowhammers.
There was a frost covering the fields, the edges of the lake are starting to freeze and the there was mist over the lake - very atmospheric.
This isn't at Maridalen, but something I saw in London at St. James Park on Tuesday, can I tick it?
Hi Lena. Tick does indeed mean the same as the swedish kryssa. The Pelicans unfortunately cannot be added to my list though as they are not wild - still nice birds though!
I like your blog!
ReplyDeleteDoes tic mean what we in Sweden call "kryssa", when you put a new bird to your list?
