Saturday - Critters and birthday greetings


Wishing a lovely weekend to you all, today I join




with these aquatic birds on an autumn morning. I believe they are red-breasted mergansers (Mergus serrator). If they aren't, do let me know! :)

The light and colours were beautiful that morning...

And then, with one of my favourite photos, I send greetings to a very dear person whose birthday is today...






... M., you are the best...






... and this is for you! :)

    I think these might be Goosander. They all look females in your shots so it is difficult to tell. Google it and see what you think yourself. Have a great weekend.

    Toivottavasti teillä on mukava juhlapäivä, onnea kovasti. Onko nuo linnut niitä tukkasotkuja tukkasotkia? Pienenä tykkäsin niistä kauhean paljon, minulla oli sellainen metsästäjien käyttämä houkutuslintukin jota rakastin yli kaiken.

    I think they are red breasted mergansers with that crest, but these birds are not wholly out of eclipse yet I think so difficult to tell. Goosander are white on the flank with a black stripe down the back.

    Tähän vuodenaikaan olen aina erityisen mieltynyt lintujen katseluun kävelylenkeilläni; läheisellä joella näkyy aina sorsia ja erilaiset muuttolintujen parvet alkavat kerääntyä ja valmistautua matkaan.
