Adding another bird for my #BirdOfTheDay with the theme #Winterlight and the alt theme #birdsyoulove. This rare King eider (Praktejder) that I've had the fortune of seeing a few times now in southern Sweden

@alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Winterlight so I'm going with this profile shot of a European robin (Rödhake). Not always that they are so unafraid that they come up to you ☺️

A group of Whooper swans (Sångsvan) resting on the frozen lake at Silvåkra. I quite like the moody atmosphere that the fog adds ☺️

A few more shots from Silvåkra today with grey weather! A Eurasian jay (Nötskrika), Great grey shrike (Varfågel) and a Eurasian bullfinch (Domherre), we also spotted a goshawk but it was too fast for me to photograph 😢

The alternate theme of #BirdOfTheDay was #Paridea so I figured why not add a Marsh tit (Entita) from my yesterdays walk in the local forest 😊

Albeit at quite the distance I got lucky with this Rough-legged buzzard (Fjällvråk) coming in for landing. More commonly found along the mountains in northern Sweden some individuals fly south during winter 😊✌️ #EastCoastKin #birdphotgraphy #BirdLife #stunday #PhotographersUnited #BirdsseenIn2026

Yesterday I managed to catch a little glimpse of the King eider (Praktejder) just outside Skanör's harbour, hoping to get lucky again with it coming in close as it did a few years ago 😅
