I had noticed a coming and going under a trunk where the feathers of a Blackbird female predated by the Sparrowhawk were. I, therefore, thought of "sowing" fresh and inviting feathers closer and in better light, well, I had to replenish 3 times, after two days, however, the party was over, or in...
A tuft of soft feathers is enough and a real frenzy is unleashed, the feathers are necessary for the particular nest of the Long-tailed tits (Aegithalos caudatus).
Horrible weather today but the rain is washing away the last of the snow.
Our Common Crane pair arrived during the week but haven't come close enough for pictures.
I've taken quite a few pictures of Long-tailed Tits during the week but this one is from yesterday. It was snowing but the snow was a bit damp so the plumage is a little wet.
The Long-tailed Tits are more at home in the garden now. They are more used to me and my camera and they split into smaller groups and sometimes behave individually. That makes them less flighty.
I'm beginning to find ways of photographing the Long-tailed Tits without scaring them off. Didn't work today though as the lock on the gate to the veranda was frozen and I made a bit of noise opening it.
3 re-processed pictures from the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 today. New pictures next time though. We had a light snowfall on Christmas Eve and a lot more snow fell yesterday.
Saw them a few times in Helensburgh but only got close enough for pictures once.
Interesting to compare them with the Swedish ones I photographed from the flat window at the end of September. I posed one of these a few weeks ago.
First time we've seen Long-tailed Tits from the flat. My wife spotted the first one and was overjoyed. And so was I.
This is the white-headed Nordic sub-species.
We had no Internet for over a week and work's been hectic so I've drifted away from Bird forum I'm afraid. We have a new boss now and even if things at work are still stressful I'll try to post more regularly.
