Tiny white flowers

Svångemåla is right now full of tiny white flowers. They might look very similar when you look at them from a distance but when you look very closely you will see that they are very different. If you can identify all four flowers below you are a real expert!!

Drama in the field

When I opened the door the other day one of the two cranes living in the field was out looking for something to eat. Nothing unusual about that but when I looked a bit closer I saw a fox only a few meters away! 

The fox did not pay much attention to the crane and walked away slowly realizing that it would not have much of a chance catching the big bird with its large and sharp beak.

Crazy !

It is almost mid May and it is snowing in Svångemåla! Crazy and depressing. Birds and flowers are suffering even more than I do. It might look beatiful in a picture but don't be fooled, it is just awful when the winds from the Arctic come down on you this time of the year.

Frog

A European common frog (Rana temporaria) was hiding in the grass. Not the most beautiful animal I can think of but an important part of the ecosystem.

Grizzled skipper (Pyrgus malvae)

Even a butterfly can be hairy!  Good idea when the temperature is only 8 C although the sun is shining. Click on the picture to see the details!
