The heat from the last few days with 10-15 degrees, are melting the ice on our lakes here in south of Norway. As more and more open water is released from the ice, the swans are returning to their nesting places. And there is always a fight to keep the place to yourselves! :-D
I live in a neighborhood of many houses and people, so it's very special to have wildlife so close. They are normally very shy, and seek to the woods to avoid people. But winter season force them to seek food everywhere. When we feed the birds, the hawk follows.
The small birds in my garden have had some rough days lately, attacked by a sparrow hawk when feeding. This is nature, so I can't do anything than observe, how cruel as it sounds...
