Fieldfares in town

30:th of January 2010
A nice saturday walk to the harbour this cold and sunny day offers 1 Redwing, some 150 Waxwings, 100 Fieldfares and a Little Grebe in the tiny bit of open water. No Kingfisher though. Blackbirds and Fieldfares are sitting in almost any tree in town, just like this one outside a café.

Tall and snowy

24:th of January 2010
This is how great it looks in the forest today. Such a brilliant day.

Berries, Lynx and Pine Marten

25:th of January 2010
There are still a lot of Rowan berries on the trees and below this tree I find footprints of a Pine Marten, apparently it has been attracted to the berries on the snow. At the same spot a Hazelgrouse male calls and the first Woodpecker drumming for the year is heard. Just a "Great-spot" but still. In the lovely sunshine it´s a sign of spring. A few yards away there are even prints and markings of a Lynx.

Nutties charm

Nutcrackers are such brilliant birds. Cortesy of Glyn Sellors.

Moose on the run

26:th of January 2010
3 Moose appears in the snow across a field and I just manage to pull aside and fire a few shots. Soon after they disappear into the forest. Seem to be plenty around this winter.

Bullfinches

21:st of January 2010
Just some nice Bullfinches on one of my feeding stations today, Redpoll, Brambling, Hawfinch and plenty of Yellowhammers too.

Waxwings and Fieldfares

19:th of February 2010
The numbers of Fieldfares and Waxwings seem to be increasing in the area. This waxwing sat in my backyard looking ab it lost and tipsy today.
