The Mistle thrush is the biggest and the most timorous thrush of Sweden. This individual suddenly landed just in front of my window in Slättåkra and I ran for the camera. But before I opened the window, it heard me and disappeared. I cautiously followed it down to my neighbor's large lawn. It noticed me once again and disappeared into forest. I hid in a rocky part, under a tree, and after a while's wait, it returned again, now in company with a partner. From my hiding place I could take a series of pictures of both birds, this day of late spring when the dandelions still flowered.
