A white-tailed eagle (havørn) joined me eating breakfast this morning, sitting on the rocky shore on Malvikodden on the opposite side of the bay with what looked like a fairly large fish, surrounded by hooded crows (kråke) waiting for a few titbits..
Every morning a large flock of Jackdaws / kaie fly past the house on the way to farmland to the east where they feed during the day…it happens very quickly so difficult to film. This morning I was filming the view of a snow shower over the fjord and the flock arrived, so I quickly started filming…
Woodpigeons at the bird feeder today showing threatening behaviour to protect their food..

It was difficult to concentrate at the weekend as there was so much happening outside the living room window…here’s a selection of still pictures and videos of birds eating wild food and at and under the bird feeder!
Following up on yesterday’s film, here we see a greenfinch trying to take morcels of seed from a hawfinch (kjernebiter)..I saw this several times today and yesterday…it happens very quickly, but a still picture (below) seems to show the greenfinch’s beak inside the beak of the hawfinch and the greenfinch is pushed away..
With so much food in the garden, the predators were out too!
A flock of 8 hawfinches, a couple of nuthatches, 20 goldfinches, chaffinches, greenfinches and blue and great Tits made for colourful views in the garden today!
