This is my balcony feeder. I mentioned last sudnay that I had a magpie (see the previous post) visiting at times and was not to happy about it. It is a large bird. But take a look who is visiting today. A woodpecker. Seems like this winter is hard even to the large birds. :( 
 
The shots are taken different days. This little ball will not last long with peckers and magpies visiting. But I can´t have a large feeing. 3 years ago I had rats on the balcony because of it. On the third floor! Not fun. The shots are taken through a 3-glass window and I see it from my computer work station. I very much enjoy watching the movements outside the window. But large birds isn´t really an option.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas

    Nötväcka - what an adorable name. I've had woodpeckers visiting my feeder this year as well, a first for me.

    Vilka härliga bilder från balkongen, kul att få "hem" dem så.
    God Jul & Gott Nytt År till dig också om vi inte "hörs" innan.

    Hej! Kul att du fått lite fåglar upp till dig på tredje våningen! Hackspett har jag bara sett någon enstaka gång här hos mig. Ja, uj vad snö vi fick, men i söndags regnade det och tog hårt på den.
    Härliga bilder fick du! Önskar dig en God Jul! /Pia
