European pied flycatcher

A very useful bird when there are too many mosquitoes is the European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca). At least I hope it can reduce the number of mozzies a bit in addition to contributing to the birds' choir. 

White Wagtail

The White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) is my absolute favorite among the common birds in Svångemåla. It is not spring until it has arrived and started to run around our lawn. We eagerly await them and think they are happy to be back "home". Not a spectacular singer but very social and good looking bird.

Eurasian Blue Tit

Among the most common birds in Svångemåla is the Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus). It is a very cute little bird but don't be fooled! It can be both  bold and aggressive when it feels threatened. 

Marsh Tit

Some birds are so tiny and grey that you hardly notice them and if their song is less than spectacular, you can easily forget that they are there and part of the big bird family. The Marsh Tit (Poecile palustris) is one of those birds that I have hardly noticed before and I am therefore posting several pictures so that  you get to know it a bit better!

European Robin

The European robin (Erithacus rubecula) or just Robin is a common bird in Svångemåla, this year more than ever. This time of the year you can hear it singing almost constantly. Lovely! Here are some pictures of one happy fellow :)
