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

Well done again.

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![]()
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![]()
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
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
Same name in Swedish![]()
