Spring time !

The Blue Anemone is a sure sign of spring in Svångemåla. The drought killed the plants in some parts of Sweden but we are lucky to still have a few on  our plot. 

 The Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) is not a bird that I associate with spring but this one enjoyed the sun and looked very healthy. I am surprised by its very blue head. 

 The Common Brimstone is one of the earliest butterflies you see and together with the many blue flowers that are common this time of the year, they make for nice pictures :)

 A Middle spotted woodpecker (Dendrocoptes medius) started to let all other know that he is present and will not tolerate any competition!

 It was a sunny day and not only the  Common brimstone was out enjoying the weather. This Camberwell Beauty landed just in front of me on the gravel. 

Various willow bushes are seen as indicators of spring in Sweden.
