A rainy day swifts and ducks

 The old birding tower at lake Näsnaren outside Katrineholm



View to the left



View in front of the tower

View to the right where it opens to the lake. The dots on the water is mostly ducks.

Some ducks on the water and lots of swifts above them.

Common Swifts

Leaving the tower I have to pass this short boardwalk

To get to the car I have to pass this gate and walk for about 5 min through the forest to the parking.

As you can see from the images the rain varied a lot but never stopped. I was surprised to see all ducks already going south. And the swifts so low due to the rain and they too early to gather like this.
It was too dark to get good shots so I leave it for now.

  6. The birding tower is cool looking. Loved the gate at the end and seeing the birds flying, swifts are hard to capture as they move so quickly.
