In the pond at Herttoniemi Manor Park I found this lone common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) chick. Don't know where his/her mother and siblings were, but this little fellow was swimming and diving alone.

Motacilla alba, occasionally seen in Alaska.

Have to say the FE-200-600 without the hood and foot is a bout fivehundredthousand times more fun to carry and use than the Minolta 300 2,8 HS and the Nikkor 500/4 P :)

On a local construction site, a group of riparian swallows (Dutch: oeverzwaluwen) have started to make nests in a pile of sand. Since these birds are a protected species here, the area has been fenced, and construction activities had to be stopped.

Today, I tried to capture the birds. Since I am not a real experienced birder, it was quite a challenge.
