Having breakfast, a photo from Uppland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

This is a close up of a beaver feeding on tree sprouts in the area along the Fyris River south of Uppsala. Beavers are feeding on aquatic plants, branches and sprouts of trees. In winter when beavers' ponds are snow-covered the feed on food they have pulled down and stuck in the bottom.

Hej Ulf,
str嶚ande bild som inte kan vara l酹t att ta, b銥rar 酺 v鄟 v鄟digt skygga? Jag antar att du fick v鄚ta flera g幩ger innan du kunde ta den h酺 fina bilden. Verkligen bra 鐷onkontakt och mycket skarpt foto, klorna och t鄚derna ser verkligen vassa ut! Vi har b銥rar p� v緳t landst鄟le som f顤st顤de v鄟digt mycket tidigare. Nu har vi st嶚n酹 runt alla l饘tr輐 som vi 酺 r輐da om och problemet tycks ha upph顤t. Fin bild d酺 ocks� ljuset ligger r酹t.

H鄟sningar/

Hej Ulf,
En fantastisk bild av denna ivriga b銥er, som 酺 perfekt inramad av grenverket. Det m廛te ha varit sv緳t att kunna komma s� n酺a f顤 att ta en s嶟an h酺 bild.En mycket fin sk酺pa. Hur n酺a var du egentligen?
H鄟sningar

PS h酺 t鄚ker jag ju p� "Eager Beaver" med Stan Kenton...

Hej Ulf,
Detta 酺 ju en enast嶒nde bild, men det verkar som om "utl鄚ningar" inte fattar det. Jag kan knappast p嶞inna mig ha sett ett s� perfekt utterportr酹t f顤ut, med ansiktet j酹tefint inramat av kvistar och med oklanderlig sk酺pa. En intressant gnagare i sitt r酹ta element.
H鄟sningar,
Gert

Hej Ulf,
That's a charming portrait of a beaver in the middle of action. Excellent sharpness. Those branches make nice natural framing.

Good evening Ulf,
We do not have Beavers in Israel, and only saw some on those in a zoo, long ago.
Fabulous close-up on, its eyes were fixed towards the camera ( I happened to realized both dogs and birds see a camera maybe as some weapon aimed at them).
Fine photo, intriguing subject well done.

Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day.
