 Bullfinch female

Bullfinch male
The bullfinches are finally back at my balcony. During winter they come and feed on the tree outside my balcony. I love the visit so I hope they stay. Here they feed on a weed I usually pick for decoration. Sorry, I don´t remember the name of it. So far I have seen 10 bullfinches sitting in the treetop so they might clean the weed too rather quickly. They I go out to pick new ones.

 I finally managed to capture this very shy Great spotted woodpecker. A male. I rarely see females, not sure why.

The past three weeks the deer's has been gone. Yesterday I only saw 2 young  females far off in a distance. They have been hunting in the area so, of course the deer's are hiding in the forest 😭

I also added a female house finch I took many years ago in the snow. Made some edit on it :)

Visiting the feeder

I visited the feeder the day the sun came out of hiding! This is the only place with a feeder left that I know of. Except of a few in gardens, but they are rare too. Not much bird life even here. It is sad to see the numbers go down almost  weekly 😞

If you hear a sad sound somewhere it´s got to be a bullfinch. Found him in a treetop.

A coaltit was present and actually shared a glimpse of it´s face

A nuthatch and a great tit was visiting. These two are the most common ones.

But this day there also appeared another hungry visitor:

A red squirrel! And I was lucky to have the sun shining on it!

The nuthatch flew away with a seed just as I pressed the button. :)

The Great spotted woodpecker is waiting for better times.

A Hawfinch is sitting pretty in the budding tree.  Some day I will try to paint it ;)

This is a place about 25 km from my home. There are a feeder and a tower at a nearby lake. There was not much birds at the lake yet. To early in the season.

Not so many species but very busy none the less. It was rather cold so I did not stay long.
