Sheep talk

Sheep talk

We had a nice chat but not all were interested. They ware more interested to see if I had any goodies in my backpack or if my clothes was edible.

Say what you mean and mean what you say, ha de Gött!

Sunbathing

Sunbathing

A Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Storskarv in Swedish, spreading its wings in the sun, probably to dry up after a dive for fish. This large black bird can be found all over the world in different variations. Hunted to near extinction as it is considered a competitor for fishing but has recovered well after hunting ban.

Too much or too little spoils everything, ha de Gött!

Lighthouse Bissen at Bisse Rännan a calm summer evening. This is the south entrance to Sweden’s first marine nature preserve, Kosterhavets Nationalpark. The preserve meets up with Ytre Hvaler on the Norwegian side at the north end. The 250 meter deep fjord is the home of one of only two coral reefs in Sweden. The low salt content in the water from the Baltic meets the high salt content water from the Atlantic, powered by the Golf Stream, creating rich living conditions under the water.

To navigate is necessary, ha de Gött!

Lizard

Lizard

After some research I’ve concluded that this is a Viviparous lizard (Zootoca vivipara) also known as common lizard, in Swedish Skogsödla. There are only three species of lizards in Sweden and one of them has no legs. The common lizard can be up to 18 centimeters long. It lives in woodland with wet micro climate.

Do let me know if I got the species wrong, ha de Gött!
