Shot with my new camera system. A CANON 7D with a 400mm lens. I hope it will give me a lot of great shots.

Now I have a new camera and a new lens. I took a walk in my snowy neighbourhood, it came 2 dm snow last night. :(   My old camera equipment was worn out and not fun at all to work with. Today it was once again fun. I got shots I like today despite the gray weather.

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

A magpie waiting, in the cold, outside my window, for me to leave so it can steal the food from the tits. The magpie is a big bird and I can´t feed them too on my balcony.

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. :(

A rare guest at the forest feeder. I was happy to see it. I´m not sure if it is a male or female.
