Haw-finch

 Yesterday I had a rare bird in my garden, I do not see very often.

Very shy bird. I had some sunflowers for the birds in the basket and there he was feasting on them.
Such a  nice bird. looking a bit angry or fierce because of his extreme big bill.
In English named Haw-finch, We name it Apple-finch. (Coccothraustes coccothraustes).

Squirrel back!

 I had not seen squirrel for months!

Whole winter... no squirrels to been seen...
I worried about them, what might have happened.
Are they even alive? As I had heard about they hares dying and having a disease?

To my great relief I saw last week a squirrel sitting in my garden, he had found a long waiting nut for him to get. He finally found it..My jaw dropped open...amazed to see him.
So happy squirrel is back.

Feather

 A bird has left a mark on my glass window.

Looks to me, he survived, as i did not see a dead bird on the ground...sigh 3x
From both sides.

Was it a robin, a finch? who can tell.

Snowdrops and crocus

Lots of sparkles in the grass.
Water-drops on snowdrops and crocuses...
Spring definitely arrived!

So much sparkles everywhere!
 

Ladybird

 A few days ago, I saw the first ladybird coming out of winter-sleep.
As I had no camera with me, I was not able to capture him.
Today I saw another one, sleeping on the side of my doormat. I love seeing the first ladybirds again. 

I saw some bumbles as well... spring is really on its way!

Robin

 Again...Robin perfectly under cover.
As a living autumn-leaf

living autumn leaf

 Birds are so smart... Is he hiding in plain sight?

Find the robin!

 

Little wren

Little wren came along last week.
Searching for little snacks...He is so cute,
He is one of the smallest of the smallest.
On the top-photo you can hardly find him...

Robin singing

Suddenly I hear a soft silvery singing outside. I look up from doing what I am doing.

Its robin singing on the bronze bird. singing his spring-song.
 

Frost

A few days ago, there were these beautiful frosty sugar-coatings on the grass and flowers.
Amazing when the sun played with it and broke the lights into beautiful diamonds all over the garden.
 

Robin singing

Robin

 This morning I wanted to upload the water in the birdbath.
It had been freezing and the water in the birdbath was frozen as well.

While I was pouring the water into the base, Robin came along to watch it very closely. He was so close that I had to move further away, otherwise I could not get him sharp.

I heard him sing very softly a lovely robin-song. A while later I noticed another robin!
Two robins in my garden!

Snowdrops

Snowdrops are coming out now...with beautiful drops!
 

Robin

Robin perched on my bronze bird. 

He has a great view looking over my garden.
 

Long-tailed tit

A group of long-tailed tits came along.
Such a cute little birds...

They came feasting on  the seeds in my garden.
