Nice seeing the birds in your corner of the planet, dear Northman. I will have a go to figure out what kind they may be…
The first long legged bird looks similar to the Great Blue Heron but they wouldn’t be that far North. It’s probably a Crane.
So many different ducks in the world. The green headed duck is the male mallard with his less colorful mate. This duck is quite common here.
I think the black headed duck is a Common Eider with mate. 😯 Pillows have been stuffed with their (eider) feathers.
As for the bird with the long thin beak …some kind of sandpiper?
Good capture of the beaver’s wood’s work. I’ve seen a few beaver dams but can never get a photo of the beaver.
The last time I saw a beaver up close was as a preteen My father was a forest ranger (called game warden then) and I went with him and another warden to watch as they removed a beaver and relocated him …there was a complaint his present dam was blocking an area.
