Sunny day

Started today by going past the cathedral, and today the Peregrine was sitting there. Such a beautiful bird! I'm assuming it is the same one that's been here earlier winters, this being the third, which means it's three years old now as it was in juvenile plumage the first winter. Would be really fun if it could find a partner here and breed in the city and not just winter here!


Peregrine (Falco peregrinus) on Uppsala Cathedral.

Well, failed finding any Golden Eagles, Grey Partridges or Lapland Buntings on the plains today, but saw some other nice birds such as a female Black Grouse in the forest on the way and a small flock of Long-tailed Tits. The tits especially made me very happy since they're my favourite bird, and I rarely see any. They're just so sweet, looking like fluffy snowballs on a stick, and I also like their calls.

Not much more to say, got some pictures I'm rather happy with today though.
