I went to the forest feeder and the lake yesterday. At the feeder I noticed great spotted woodpecker, nuthatcher and a female Eurasian Siskin. At the lake most ice was now gone and replaced with graylag goose and lots of coots. Spring IS here!

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 :)

Three species I found close to a forest feeder. The nuthatch is fairly common. A little less for the Marsh tit. The Yellowhammer was only a single bird and quite hard to catch.

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. :(

They started the forest feeder for the winter so I went there to see what birds had come. Seems like most of the regulars found it. At the lake the mallards and the gadwells took off before i even got close. :( From the tower I spotted a strange looking female mallard. Her front and head was different.

About the gull, I am not sure wich it is as they were on the other side of the lake. Probably Herring gull though. They were surprised by the lake freezing the other day and now they probably wait for it to thaw again. It has been a warm winter so far and some birds have choosen to stay here. Normally they would have been far south at this time of the year.

Now I see them reflected in the snowfree ice. :)
