and even closer close-ups (Alcedo atthis)

Okay. Enough already. I have more, but they're quite similar to these three.

Now remember, BF friends: Tomorrow and Sunday it's EuroBirdwatch weekend! Be it watching through your windows at home, around your local patch, or an adventure at some Ramsar site ... get thee out there to see and report some birds |=)|. I plan to do a hike to the botanical gardens and the fjord shore Saturday. Sunday I'm flying to Gothenburg for a workshop, getting there with a good half day to spare, probably for a walk around Slottsskogen park ... although, I don't know how to go about reporting in Sweden, so I'll probably just report my Saturday birds here in Trondheim - early morning at home, then on my walk. And to that end, I'd better get out now and fill up the feeders before we take off to a birthday party. Posting a wee bit early today, I know. Hope you can forgive me.
