Squirrels and swans


Subtitle: Fuzzy photos taken through windows on cloudy and foggy October days






A catchy title for this post would have been "Pole Dance". :) Our bird feeder is now in a new - yet temporary - place and with some wooden parts replaced with plastic ones because this flipping adorable rascal already destroyed them.



This is a Eurasian red squirrel, in grey winter coat but with ear-tufts still small.











Whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) are really handsome birds and we are happy to see nowadays more of them.






Synchronised cygnets: Heads up...






... heads down. :)






If I go out, this is what I usually manage to capture...









Thank you, Eileen, Anni and Jesh!






Have a lovely weekend!






♥!

  2. Breathtaking!!! My favorite weather is FOG!!! And the swans, I don't get to see them in the wild here in Texas so those were a special treat!

    [ps...loved the beautiful autumn colors in your previous post too!]

  13. Wonderful animal and bird photos today. We don't see swans around these parts but we have lots of grey and red squirrels that don't have tufted ears. :) Enjoy the weekend.

  16. Voi ihana Sara! Onko tämä teidän kotirantanne, niin kaunis...ruokintamökkikylä (tulee mieleen ruokkeen mökkikylä, jossa tuli asioitua monesti lapsena) on tosi suosittu näemmä! Oravien tankotanssia, hih.

  17. Beautiful pictures of a gloomy day. I especially adore the squirrel what a beauty. Of course I like the swans too, but we have many of them and no squirrels here.
    Have a nice Sunday,

    Dear Sara, blue goblen purse (gobelin or goblin) you asked, I didn't stitched! I bought it from an antique shop! It is almost a hundred years old.

    Have a wonderful Sunday ♥

  23. You've reminded me that the Whooper Swans must have returned to the Fens just north of here and I'll have to get to visit them soon. For the Red Squirrel I'd have to go much further afield.

  24. Hello Sara. And thank you for visiting my blog. many thanks also for your description of Whooper Swans as jumbo jets - how right you. I just love the joyous sight and sound of Whoopers taking off, in flight or landing. It didn't matter that your day was a little murky because your pictures capture it perfectly, especially the last one.

  31. Such a delight to capture swans on the lake, must check if we have whoopers here.
    I saw on FB a squirrel like you always share that had been adopted as a baby by a guy and he walked it on a tiny halter and leash - it's a sweet pet for him.

  37. We don't have any issue with squirrels at our bird feeders here in Tucson, expect I suppose in the mountains. Where we are moving we will likely have an opportunity to see their antics. Love that cute squirrel photos. And that lake with the swans...heavenly!
