Currently they are around the feeders, but is still very mild and not hopping onto the feeders much, White-backs and Middle Spots already using.Hazel Grouse all over the place, easy to find tracks in the snow, harder to find the individuals, but a dedicated search 'should' result in success. Closest ones to my feeders are only a few hundred metres and they have strolled right past the peanut feeders on rare occasions ...I dream of a bunch scoffing the titbits dropped by the Grey-headed et al <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Great Spotted Eagle, very rare summer visitor in Lithuania, not present in winter at all.Calling here generally starts late Feb/March, though the temperature will still be generally zero or below. Were calling a little bit a week or two back too.</blockquote>
