The water pipit is a rare winter migrant to Öland. This one found a ditch with some water that had not yet frozen in the otherwise snow covered landscape.
Feed me!
White wagtail delivering a mouthful to its newly fledged young one (one of three young ones). It was not enough to hand over the insect, it had to be literally pushed down the throat of the immature wagtail.

Skylark
Skylark greating the arrival of spring.
I see you!
No doubt about it, this skylark has spotted me!
On a rock next to the gravel road, this skylark was keeping watch. Probably it had its nest on the fields behind. With the car as a hide, it was easy to get close without the lark stopped singing.
