On our photo tour to Örö National Park a couple of common shelducks was found. My first ever photo of the bird resting on a rock.

A wonderful shooting experience with friends Bore and Leppis in Kirkkonummi, today. Grass snakes in many colors including a complete black one were all around and they do not care of the photographers, almost not at all.

Bearded Reedlings are back in Espoo. The birds were away for many years. Now they can be found in the same place than five years ago.

Yesterday we had big waves in Cape Town. Cormorants were flying along the coast. The pic is a combination of both!

The nest looks pretty strongly built. Has been in use for many years.

Looks strange but I think he is measuring how far his back cast reaches.

Took some time to adjust the picture to look like it was in reality.. The key was to take highlights down to the bottom and shadows somewhat up in Lightroom. In the raw picture the sky was much more yellowish than it actually was.
