I hope that i got the names right. From Skanör-Falsterbo in South Sweden yesterday.

Very neat set Lars. Thanks for sharing these.

Lars, I do believe those are avocets, they are different from American avocets but very similar. They are so gracefully shaped and you captured that beauty wonderfully. I've never heard of a shelduck so I can't help there but the images you have of them are lovely. I like that last one the best for the symmetry of the birds and reflections. Well done.

Tim

The Avocet is great. I have never seen one

Reflections in these Lars are elegant. Very nice coloring, my favorite being #3 for its simplicity and clean composition. Very nice series, the Shelducks are gorgeously marked.

Karl

Great series...the color, comp and sharpness are

Ted

Beautiful shots Lars,

I know who I'm contacting about where to go shooting next time I go home.

Congratulations

Lil

Excellent series Lars! The colors, lighting, detail and reflections are top notch, I really like 3 and 4, super job.

Doug

Wow very nice. Never seen a shelduck before, thanks for posting.

Nice series.... like #3 the most

Very nice captures, Lars. Avocets always look very gentle birds. Good job on the exposure. Yes, those are Shelducks, Old World waterfowls.

You must have hit them at lunch time... They all have their heads in the water.... Nice series Lars

Excellent shots Lars. I have only seen the Avocets (American Avocet) in the breeding plumage. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Doug, glad you enjoyed them

Lars

lars-
thanks for sharing with us. i had to laugh because, unlike tim kuhn, i was thinking how different the avocets look compared to ones i see in my neighborhood. same same but different, i guess.
