Täpik, Argynnis
Kahjuks jäime hätta tema täpsema liigi määramisega. Meenutab ta Hõbetäpikut ja samas võib ta olla ka Sootäpik.
Unfortunately we are stuck with identifying the right species. They all look the same.

Suitsupääsuke, Hirundo rustica
Lisaks sellele, et suitsupääsuke on Eesti rahvuslind, on ta ka Aasta Lind 2011.
Besides the fact that the Barn Swallow is the national bird of Estonia, it is also the Bird of the Year 2011.
Oled sa juba infolehega tutvunud?!?
Must-kärbsenäpp, Ficedula hypoleuca
Lind, kellel on juhtumisi valge kikilips noka kohal. Pärnumaa.

Tuttvart, Aythya fuligula
Kui me nüüd ei eksi, siis on pildil emane tuttvart. Fotod tehtud Köningssee järvel, Saksamaal. Kuigi paistab, et need 2 pilti oleks justkui tehtud eri aegadel ja paikades, siis tegelikult on vahe ainult paarkümmend sekundit. Lind lihtsalt ujus ühest valgusolust teise.
If we are not mistaken then it's female Tufted Duck on the pictures. The photos are taken in Lake Köningssee, Germany. Although it seems that the 2 pictures are shot in different times and locations, only about twenty seconds separates them. The bird just swam from one light situation to another.

Hall-kärbsenäpp, Muscicapa striata
Tegemist on väga vähenõudliku linnuga. Elutseb ta kus juhtub- aknapragudes, puuõõnustes jm. Leplikkus kaob vaid käo muna haudumisel. Öeldakse, et vastupidiselt teistele lindudele suudab ta eristada käo muna enda omast ning lükkab selle lihtsalt pesast välja.
Spotted Flycatcher is a very undemanding bird. It lives in quite indiscriminate places - window cracks, tree hollows etc. The tolerance is lost as soon as it sees a cuckoo's egg in its nest. To the contrary of many other small birds, it can distinguish a cuckoo's egg from its own and throws it out of the nest.

Mets-lehelind, Phylloscopus sibilatrix
Taas kord meil vedas ning saime pildile mets-lehelinnu. Nagu eelminegi, elutses ka see tegelane rägastikus. Teda peetakse täpsuslenduriks, kuna sellises tihnikus manööverdamine nõuab suurt osavust. Samuti on tema liikumine hästi kuulda, sest ta laulab vahetult enne või kohe pärast õhkutõusmist. Laul kestab kuni laskumiseni.
Again we had the luck for meeting Wood Warbler. As a last specimen it, inhabited in the thicket. Wood Warbler is known for its precision flight and one needs a high skill to manoeuvre in the thicket. Also it always sings before taking off until landing.

Buratino
Keset paksu põlislaant avastasime ühe miniatuurse pildigalerii. Siin on ämblikuniitidega üles riputatud maailmakuulus teos "Buratino".
In the middle of the thick forest we found a miniature art gallery. Here you can see a world famous piece called "Pinocchio" hanged by the spider threads.

Sõtkas, Bucephala clangula
Mõnikord on elu nii igav, et uni tuleb peale lausa ujudes.
Sometimes the life is so boring that you fall asleep during swimming.
