Good day for Siberian Jays

31:st of January 2011
The Siberian Jays are just as obliging as you want them to be – especially on a sunny day like this. 4 birds are present. Hot dogs for lunch.

Pine Grosbeaks all over

31:st of January 2011
Pine Grosbeaks seem to be all over the forest at Kittan, Jädraås. On a little walk we encounter 8+ 7 birds. The first flock is fouraging in the sunlit treetops along the road. Uttering their fluty, melodic, lovely calls.

Pine Grosbeaks against the light

31:st of January 2011
Against the light but a bit more full body. In this group of at least 8, there was only 1 adult male. Never got a good shot at him though, but good views in bins. Always such a good bird to see.

This was the closest picture I got in fair light. Mustardlike yellow colour is significant for the adult female.

Three good Woodpeckers

30:th of January 2011
A good day´s birding in Färna Ekopark produce 3 good species of Woodpecker. Black-‚ Three-toed– and Grey-headed. All of them males. Long-tailed Tit and Black Grouse among other stuff.

Grouse Charma

I think I start to believe Matt when he says he´s got "Grouse Charma". This female Black Grouse was sitting just in front of the car for a long time and didn´t even fly when we drove past. Matt took the picture. Nice job!

Greyhen

In old time Britain they were called Greyhen (am I right?). This picture was taken by Lauren. Great work!
