This was a rare day this winter. A little snow and sunshine. Almost thought I was in a different country. 
As it has been a snow free and rather warm winter not many birds has been to the feeder at the forest edge. But these are almost always there every time I pay a visit. I think the Nuthatch is preparing for a dive :)

The little Blue Tit really looked good on the coconut. It really seemed to like it too.

If it was not for the movement in the water I would never have seen those guys. They were so hard to see and also to focus for sharp images. There was too much going on here. :)

Well, first snow was not that bad, but they don´t seem to like it anyway. I don´t have a feeder on my balcony anymore but it seems one of my neighbours have. I ended up with rats on the third floor. It wasn´t that fun so I took the feeder away.

The title says a few! Yes, outside my window was 3 bullfinches, At the feeder was only three Blyúe tits that I could see. And the poor Goldeneye was alone in the entire lake that I could see. :(
Guess I will not be birding for a while. But luckily I have birds from Scotland, Morocco and Honoulu that I can post. I´ll still be around the birding blogs. :)

Some days everything works so well you almost get stunned. I did not se many birds but things that I liked.  The Long Tailed Tit was searching for food right in front of me. At least for a minute. And then the Blue Tits was playing around with each other. This is a pair I think. The darker one the male. Checking each other out. The swans was in the lake about 10 min walk from the location of the others. This is probably a family where the youngsters just got their adult plumage.

The Blue Tit is a very common bird in Sweden. I see it every day. It is small, cute and has a huge temper. Today I saw them fooling around a lot. I guess the mating process has started. :)

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

I´ve been visiting the forest feeder again. The little Crested Tit seem to be a regular now. But still only one bird. It was hard to get to the feeder today. Lots of snow on the "parking lot". Almost got stuck with the car. :(
