Today’s trip in the woods ended up with photos of two birds, one European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) and one Black Grouse or Capercaillie - I cannot tell the difference…

This afternoon we drove by a lake in Grängesberg where there usually are swans. We were lucky! The ice was melted and a pair of swans were there.
They came so close I had to stand back a bit. My close-up limit of the 400 mm lense is somewhere around 3-4 meters, and the swans came too close! Very exiting! :)
In the last photo you can see the swan chewing on a bit of bread. That’s the reason they came so close - we gave them some bread to eat. :)

This is a fascinating bird. It’s really big - at least for being a bird! It’s more than one meter long and around 2-2,5 meters wingspan!
I really love my “new” Tokina 400 mm lense! :)
