Mostly dry areas "inside" the reed. All this green should be filled with water.  :(

I went to Sjöholm to see if there would be any migrating Common Snipes. Below the barn is a small waterfilld wetland. Or, should be. Half of it has dried out this summer. Still, there was enough water to host about 15 Snipes, some Greylag goose and Lapwings. But it was the Snipes that interested me. I like those cool birds with the long bills. And I was happy to see them

  4. Great to see them in the open like that. The ones I see in Autumn and Winter are usually hiding amongst the reeds.

  6. I like the color of the dried grass. It contrasts nicely with the color of the sky. #OurWorldTuesday

  8. I like snipes too -- looks like you could definitely use some rain, but the colors you captured are pretty!
