The Beauty and the Beast
Within a few meters from each other I saw a beautiful butterfly and a viper. What a contrast. Unfortunately the viper had been run over by one of the very few cars that traffic our gravel road. Sad since it is a protected species and is very good at hunting rodents.
The Cranes (Grus grus ) are here !
The cranes are here! To be honest, they have been here a few weeks but this is the first time I came close enough to take some pictures. Big, beautiful birds that seem to be faithful to each other.

Spring in Malmö
Malmö is a three hours drive south of Svångemåla and that is far enough to make a difference in the climate. Not a lot but usually a couple of weeks.
Here are some of the signs I have seen during the last week of how spring has arrived in Malmö.
Hazelnut flower - female. Click on the picture to see how colorful and wonderful the flower is.

Snow! And rain...
Snow and hard wind in Svångemåla today. I feel really sorry for the birds and all who have to be outdoors today. Warm and waterproof cloths help but it is still not my favourite weather!

Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus)
One of the cutest birds I know is the Long-tailed tit. It is not common in Svångemåla compared to many other birds but I have been lucky to see several the last couple of days. As always, click on the picture to enlarge it!
Beginning of March
It is still winter in Svångemåla although all snow has melted away and there are some signs of spring. Here are some snapshots to give you an idea...
