Director-photographer Mikael Kristersson spent years filming a pair of handsome kestrels (European falcons) in the church tower of a small Swedish town. He captures their life of hunting, eating, grooming, mating, nesting, and raising a brood with astounding intimacy and little human intrusion. We watch the male hunt, hovering like a hummingbird before diving for a field mouse or a lizard, than take the kill to his mate.

Cranes Dancing at Homborga Lake
Hornborga lake is located between the two large lakes V?rn and V?ern north of Gothemburg in Sweden. Cranes are gathering in large numbers here every year to dance and mate before going to their final summer destination further north in Norway and Sweden. Every day there are 8.000-10.000 cranes in this relatively small location. People are coming in large numbers to watch the cranes and it is a real show they are putting on here.
Wild Birds of Sweden
