I am just an ordinary sea bird…
…and I am proud of that!

Taken by Surprise
Surely it’s surprising to discover what amazing bird species there are around the world. This one looks unique.
When I saw this “sculpture” at a distance in Siracusa, Sicily, I was absolutely sure it was real. 
Until I came close and my dog began to nose around his feet. Then he couldn’t sit still any longer without laughing and he began to talk. I’ve seen many kinds of these players before but nobody as real like this one.
A really fun and unexpected surprise.
Shooting with the macro lens often gives unexpected surprises.
It may be surprising to look at a fly with its amazing faceted eyes…
…or to see a hairy butterfly.
Winged & Colorful
Winged and colorful but so hard to capture with my camera.
Pride…
Tough and stubborn.
Looks like this one wants to say something, I’m colorful and I can fly.
White Beauty
“The ugly Duckling”, (Den fula ankungen) is a fairy tale from 1853 written by H.C. Andersen and it’s about a young duck bird that is teased for its ugliness, but then grows up to a beautiful white swan. 
The story is a fable, where animals represent humans. 
A handsome look or a beautiful face is of great importance to many people. 
It really doesn’t matter how we look from the outside since real beauty is the light that shines from our soul. This Swan is unaware of its beauty which makes it even more beautiful.

Same, same….
Beautiful black Swans
Last Sunday we went to St. Anton Gardens in Attard where the annual Citrus Festival took place. 
But Fanny didn’t enjoy it that much, too many people, so much noise and I was too busy managing my camera. So we just walked around the park where there weren’t so many people for about an hour before we left. 
But we were lucky, instead of citrus in quantities and lots of different varieties we found these two beautiful black Swans swimming around so peacefully. I’ve never seen black Swans before!
So graceful and with a distinctive beauty in its movement, style and shape. I’ll visit them again soon.
Silent Sunday
WPC – Serene
In this week Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge, we share a visual moment of blissful quiet.

Birds and birds…
When in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, don’t miss the birds!
Here are some pictures from KL Bird Park. Hope you enjoy!
Pelican, looks proud.
Peacock, beautiful color.
I have no idea about the names of most birds, but you may know.
One of a kind.
The bird’s bill is a remarkably adaptable and useful instrument. Click on an image to enlarge.
Distracted.
In my opinion, the most beautiful one with its amazing feather suit.
You will find Kuala Lumpur Bird Park only 10 min drive away from the hustle and bustle in the city centre of KL. Most of the birds in the park are let free in the bird sanctuary which closely resembles their natural habitat. This free-flight concept allows the birds to breed naturally in this unique environment.
I’m not in Malaysia right now but will go there within a couple of weeks.
Then we travel to Sweden to pick up our little puppy at the end of October.
