Western Jackdaw in Pildammsparken — clever eyes in the crowd
•
The Western Jackdaw in Pildammsparken, Malmö, is never truly alone. Where there’s a jackdaw, there are often more — their social lives unfolding in bursts of chatter, acrobatics, and observation. But this one stood still. Watching me as much as I watched him, from a bed of sun-kissed leaves in Malmö’s greenest heart. His pale blue…

Female Blackbird in Kungsparken — grace in shadows
•
The female blackbird in Kungsparken, Malmö, doesn’t seek the spotlight like her male counterpart with his bold black feathers and golden beak. Instead, she moves through the soft shadows, blending into the earthy tones of the path, understated but just as vital. I found her quietly foraging in the hush of early morning, the light still…

Gull Conflict at Pildammsparken — the wild edge of spring ritual
•
Gull mating behaviour at Pildammsparken in Malmö, and what I first assumed to be a graceful courtship turned into something far more intense. I raised the camera just as the male landed, wings wide in dominance, the female pinned and resisting. Their shrill calls pierced the air — not melodic like robins or larks, but…

Chiffchaff in Limhamn – spring’s first soprano
•
Chiffchaff in Limhamn Limestone Quarry — the name alone is enough to charm a smile out of me. I met this restless little warbler on a soft, clear morning. Its presence was revealed first by that repetitive “chiff-chaff, chiff-chaff” pulsing through the thorny undergrowth. It’s a song that marks the true beginning of spring in…

🦌 Roe Deer in Klagshamn – A Spring Encounter with Velvet and Quiet
•
Roe deer in Klagshamn, Sweden – Sometimes, nature meets you halfway. No hunt, no long lens stakeout — just a walk, a friend, and a moment that stands still in the grass. A Walk, Then a Stare We were somewhere near the edge of the field — myself and Joshua— when the tall grass shifted. The…

🦢 Mute Swan at Arriesjön – A Feathered Monarch in the Mist
•
Mute swan at Arriesjön, Sweden – There are moments in wildlife photography when the subject finds you. This was one of them. Early in the fog of a quiet Swedish morning, a mute swan approached from the far end of Arriesjön, regal and unhurried, and fixed me with a stare I won’t soon forget. In that instant, I wasn’t…

•
Common gull in Pildammsparken – Some mornings, you don’t go out chasing drama. You go out hoping to notice the quiet things. In Malmö’s Pildammsparken, with its slow-turning trees and long reflections, a bird in flight can feel like a small miracle.

Banded snail in Arrie Nature Reserve – Sometimes the most unexpected moments require the most surprising tools. While walking through Arrie’s lush nature reserve, I noticed something barely moving on a stone near a wet meadow: a banded Grove snail, shell gleaming like a polished fossil, inching along at its own perfect pace. Snail macro from a…
