To be honest I´m not at all certain about the two birds above. They should be the same species, maybe a young male and a female. Please correct me if I´m wrong. They were very busy around the trees.

An interesting bird that we saw most every day. It seem to be related to crows and ravens and fantails.  Learn more about Willie-wagtail on wiki

This swallow is rather close in appearance to our barn swallows. And they were quite common on our trip. The last shot is bad quality but I share it mainly because it shows the white markings on the swallows tail feathers.

These were hard to catch. They were on the other side of the lake and with all greenery. I was not sure I had them at all. They go by goose but looks like Golden eye. :)  Well, acc to wiki it is a duck.

This is a very unique goose and it is very interesting to read about it on wiki.  What immediately caught my attention was the fact that I saw them sitting in trees. Never seen a goose in a tree before.

This was a bird hard to photograph as it stayed in dark places under trees.
But it was fun seeing it searching the leafes for food.
