Sorry, looked at this a while ago then forgot.:)
It looks like it may be an Owl of some sort, was put off at first by the setting.
Is it perhaps a Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus

A good start Rolf:)
Ormvråk in Swedish (snakecatcher) :thumbsup:

Bergfink Brambling Fringilla montifringilla:)
Well done
:-excited
Took me a couple of days wondering and then I suddenly though ...............I know
So, let us find this one out !
It looks pretty much like a Sparrowhawk. - Accipiter nisus
Have to agree with that :)
A pretty bird as well Rolf :)
Sparvhök Eurasian Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus :thumbsup:
Well done again.
Been too easy for a while ?
Barred Owl - Strix varia
Well from the look of it against the tree, it's a teeny weeny one, so I'll go for Pygmy owl - Glaucidium passerinum.
Yes, it is a small one :)
Sparvuggla Eurasian Pygmy Owl Glaucidium passerinum
Lol. It looked enormous to me . I was looking for large owls :bang:
Well I'm obviously the only one who compared it to the size of the pine cones and length of the pine needles. ;)
Yep. I didn't know they were cones. I just thought it was a large owl :)
and a BIG tree :14:
Away from trees :)
Quite rare in the Uk, looks like a Grey Phalarope - Phalaropus fulicarius.
Let us see if we can sort the colors in this bird :thumbsup:
No tree to compare with !
Looks like a Tawny Owl to me
(Strix aluco - Linnaean, or 'Hoolet' in Scots!)
But then, there are SO many different Owls, aren't there?
Yes, but there aren't many with vertical bars down the side of their heads.;) In fact I think their's only one in our part of the world, the Hawk Owl, Surnia ulula.
Hökuggla Northern Hawk Owl Surnia ulula :thumbsup:
Same name in Swedish :)
Here is a small bird for You all:
Reed Warbler - Acrocephalus griseldis
A reed dweller yes, but a Reed Bunting - Embiriza schoeniclus.
If a reed bunting t has to be a female :thumbsup:
Then it is sorted, a female it is :thumbsup:
