World Bird Wednesday XXIX


Went to Østensjøvannet in Oslo this afternoon.
Hope you like my presentation of
THE GREAT CRESTED GREBE (Podiceps Cristatus).






The great crested grebe is leaving this place between September and November  
for Western Europe.
We are very happy to see them back between March and April.

For more birds look at World Bird Wednesday.

  15. Jasså, vært i nabolaget mitt! :) Østensjøvannet er jo en perle, og jeg ferdes der ofte. Hadde du vært der noen dager før hadde vi kanskje møttes!

    Likte veldig godt bilde 4 og 5. Alle er faktisk fine - men de virker roligere i vannspeilingen. Men søren - de fine endene der så ikke jeg da jeg var der!

    Ellers tusen takk for de fine ordene hos meg. BLir glad over å være til inspirasjon - og det var jo nettopp slik jeg lærte: andre gav og gir meg inspirasjon! Og så lærer man underveis!
