Since I'm already chaotically mixing Bluesky for birds, software engineering etc. I can as well mix it up even more 😆 Here's an old Christmas-themed Swedish folk song I recorded today, merry Christmas! ✨ youtu.be/S4tum2oKCJw?... #singing #folkmusic #folkmusik

Lovely way to start off the Christmas with some aurora, unfortunately phone pics 😊

Intending to use @gleam.run for a side project I first started in Java. I was checking some docs & videos as a refresher since I last used Gleam for AoC 2024 and stumbled upon this video by @giacomocavalieri.me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfPI... Highly recommended, such a smooth & polished talk! ✨

It's very little light outside now, and I don't have on of those F4 telephoto lenses 😅so instead of a fresh photo here's one from the archive. Female merganser from an early may morning this spring 😊 #birds #photography

#birds #photography We normally don't have coal tits (svartmes) around the house, but this autumn there have been three of them visiting the feeders 😊

It's insane how many news articles, about AI's future impact on professions and industries, are based on a single narrative from spokespersons or employees of companies that are making a huge bet on AI, and where selling a narrative is part of their marketing and survival strategy.

The Eurasian nuthatch can look elegant if it wants too, like here, but flashing its rear end to the camera is still one of its more preferred poses 😅 #birds 🪶

A charming Eurasian blackcap (svarthätta), an uncommon visitor for the season and location 😊 Photo from today #birds 🪶

Are you okay Github? 🔴👀

#birds #photography Nuthatch returning to nest with a beakful of insects

Blyth's reed warbler 🙂 Not the most common sight here. I heard and then saw one today at the same spot I observed one last year on June 12. They're great at mimicking other birds, super fun to listen to! This little guy pulled off a buzzard imitation that was good enough to convince Merlin 😄 #birds

#birds #photography #birding This is not the common yellow wagtail, this is the Citrine wagtail, an Asian species that seems to be spreading west. And I was lucky enough to get the second reported observation ever of it in my municipality 🤩

#birds #owls #photography Yesterday evening gave me my best short-eared owl captures so far. Two of them were hunting in the area and did a couple of close fly bys. 🤩 In addition to that I was also lucky enough to score a very rare observation, will share that one later!

#birds #photography Ringed plovers are amongst my top species to observe and photograph, here's a capture from today 😊

#birds #photography 🪶 The Temminck's stint is a very small wader, I saw some together with common ringed plovers today and the plovers looked tall in comparison 😊 Photo from today.

#birds #photography 🪶 The yellow wagtails have been back for about two weeks now 😊

🫎 #wildlife #photography Some moose action from this evening, they really love the buds & the first spring leaves that are starting to form 😊

#birds #photography Wood sandpiper, and a behind the scenes shot. We've had quite a long period of colder weather, but now it's not long until spring leaf burst!

#birds #photography #wildlife Horned greb, one of our less common waterbirds, a peculiar looking bird!

#wildlife #photography #foxes From the archives: last year I had a lovely encounter with two curious fox cubs a morning when I was going out to photograph some birds. 🦊 One of them was curious enough to give me this shot 😊

Silhouette of common kestrel with a pretty decent evening snack 😄 Northern Sweden this spring. 🪶

#birds #photography Common merganser couple, the female is definitely into punk with that haircut 😄

#birds #photography Common merganser couple photographed this morning. 🪶 After the heatwave that brought a large group of new migratory birds it has been a bit colder for a while, but spring is still progressing, only at a more modest pace 🌱 Wide shot in comments

Met this stylish common chiffchaff today 🙂 Also saw my first osprey and rough-legged buzzard of the season. A good day!

#birds #photography Mrs and Mr Teal. We've had mostly goldeneye's and mallard's, but now the Eurasian teal and tufted ducks are back. I've also seen a few northern pintails. Also including an environment shot, since I've had intentions to show more than what can be seen in the standard closeups 🙂

🇸🇪🇳🇴🇫🇮🇩🇰🇮🇸 Where are all the other wildlife photographers from the Nordic countries on BlueSky? I love to see all the American birds but I wouldn't mind following a few more locals and neighbours too! 😄 #birds #photography

#birds #photography Common crane flyby, photo from this evening, around sunset 🌄

Meadow pipit having left the meadow to enjoy the sun for a bit ☀️ #birds #photography

Whooper swan, photo from Wednesday morning 🌅 #birds #swans #photography

Early morning shot. Accidentally spooked some ducks as I passed by a wetland area. This week a lot of migratory species have returned. Still quite some that are still to come though 😊 #birds #photography

Here are two lovely Lapland longspurs I met today 🤩 they're usually just staging here and will likely continue further north west to the mountains. Their song sometimes features quite intricate patterns. #birds #photography

Male common kestrel (tornfalk) from this evening. 🤩 It was seen in the vicinity of a nest where a kestrel couple spent the summer last year. I wonder if it's the same specimen. Haven't seen any female around yet though. 🙂 #birds #kestrel #photography

Roe deer buck, photo from yesterday 🙂 #deer #photography

A thing neither @sarahlovesbirds.bsky.social nor I had ever seen before... a bald eagle perched on a log traveling downriver... lol.

First photo is from today (March 29) and the second photo is from April 13 last year. It has been a very warm winter with little snow. Not every migratory species will arrive with the same time difference, but the season for sure is a bit earlier this year! 😊 #sångsvan #whooperswan #birds

The feisty nuthatch is always a fun observation, even though it's quite common, photo from today 😊 #nuthatch #birds #photography

Then I saw these round birds: my lifer Sharp-tailed Grouse. Puffing up into a sphere is a smart way to resist the deep freeze. Look at these perfect dinosaurs.

Each time I visit my parents in winter I try to take a moment to visit the white-throated dippers in the local river. Photo from today 😊 #photography #birds

It's a bit unfair to this fieldfare that I'm posting it after the waxwing photo, but what it may be lacking in terms of accent colors it makes up for with the sophisticated grays and the spotted breast 😎 🪶 #birds #photography

Really happy with how this waxwing capture turned out 😊 Bohemian waxwings are usually a quite rare sight here in the winter, but seems like more than usual have chosen to spend the winter in the area this year. Fortunately it has been a quite warm winter so far. #bohemianwaxwing #birds #waxwing

Male bullfinch from today 😊 it's pretty cold at the moment though, a bit below -20C ❄️ #birds #birding #photography

Happy new year! 🎉 Ending this year with another dipper photo, this one is from a couple of days ago. All in all it was a good birding & photography year! I also got to observe around 15 new species (for me)✅ #whitethroateddipper #birds #birding #dippers #photography

Another capture of the fox I observed on boxing day 🦊 ☃️ #wildlifephotography #foxingday #foxes #photography

Christmas fox 🦊 I went out this morning to photograph some dippers, however I got lucky and also encountered this fox who passed by on the other side of the river. It was walking along the ice ridge that formed when the water was higher. #wildlife #photography #foxes #wildlifephotography

How does an organization forget?

There are occasionally some micro stutters, but all in all the feed is feeling much more responsive on lower end Android devices now, at least on my OnePlus Nord 2 🙂

Stumbled upon a chiffchaff capture from spring 🪶🙂 #birding #photography #birds

"Is efficiency a good thing? On the face of it, the question seems absurd. Of course efficiency is a good thing. None of aspire to be inefficient. Most of us strive to be as efficient as possible, and to make our organisations equally efficient. And yet." hollycummins.com/is-efficienc...

Here's another white-throated dipper from last weekend, it was a short session (like all this time of the year, with only a few hours of sunlight 😅) but a very successful one! 🪶 #dippers #birds #birding #photography
