A new lifer for me a Sanderling (Sandlöpare) 🥳Photographed at Falsterbo. I was surprised by how close it would just run up to me 😅 Think I was less than 5m away from it

Got lucky with a Common Kingfisher (Kungsfiskare) at Jordbodalen in Helsingborg a few days ago ☺️it's always an intense moment in hope that it does not fly away 😅

A Grey wagtail (Forsärla) from yesterday, this is the closest I've ever been to one! it was foraging around the shallow part of the stream and did not care about me sitting on the other side at all 😊

Another lifer for me this year a Shore lark (Bärglärka) I must say that see them running together by the shore was a lovely experience photographed by the shore of Barsebäck #ThePhotoHour #BirdsSeenIn2025 #BBCWildlifePOTD #SonyAlpha #birds #wildlifephotography

While in Borneo birds, weren't the only thing we saw! We spotted plenty of Probiscis monkeys as well 👃😊#ThePhotoHour #BBCWildlifePOTD #SonyAlpha #NaturePhotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography

A little photo sequence of a Common buzzard (Ormvråk) that changed spotting location, it didn't seem to find a prey though since it decided to fly away a few minutes later 😅 #ThePhotoHour #BBCWildlifePOTD #SonyAlpha #birds #wildlifephotography

[Henrik Frietsch 🇸🇪 @Henrik_Frietsch]

A few more photos from Vikhög and the Snow buntings plus Common buzzard with a prey and a Great black-backed gull that flew past us as we were having fika by the shore ☕🍰😊

Had to wait for a bit for this Baya Weaver to comeback to its work in progress nest to get this photo, thinking back I sort of wish I could've stayed a little longer to get more photos, Borneo

Very happy today with finding 3 Snow buntings around the harbor at Vikhög. I missed them earlier this year in January so to find them now by myself sure feels good! 😎

A Javan Myna that was flying around the bus station when we arrived at Sandakan. It was nice to do a little birding after a long long bus ride ☺️

a Black-naped monarch from the forests around the Kinabatangan river. It perched on the branch for a few seconds before disappearing into the forest, glad I managed to get a photo of it 😊
