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.

Two of my favourites was visiting the forest feeder today. But so hard to get great shots of them. It was dark and they move so quickly.  I am especially happy about the Crested tit because it seems to be only one and it is rarely visiting the feeder.

Despite the fact this happened close to water this bird obviously preferred to take a sand bath. It was so much fun to watch.  From my trip to Scotland last June. :)

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.

Sitting in my kitchen drinking a  cup of coffee I noticed some movements in the treetops outside.  Did not look like a Bluetit  so I got my binochular to check. It was the Hawfinch, a male. I rarely see them so I picked up the camera and went out the balcony. This is what I got. Some times third floor and a 500mm lens is just right. :)
