It’s spring!
Nuthatch (spettmeis) singing in the garden this morning…now it must be spring! ;)
Nuthatches
Two nuthatches (spettmeis) on the bird feeder this morning with a short guest appearance of a male chaffinch (bokfink) :) See the video below! A dark morning here, the sun has now set until it rises again around 14th January! Only secondhand sun now clipping the tops of the trees on Malvikodden:
Sunrise at the breakfast table
Another unseasonally “balmy” day in Malvik! Despite a clear night, it was warm enough to breakfast in the garden at sunrise at 7:15 with a beautiful sunrise, joined by a couple of nuthatches and admiral butterflies already on the wing at 9 am! Sad to have to leave for the cooler south (Porsgrunn) on the night train tonight….
The nuthatch and the hazelnut
Breakfast in the garden and a nuthatch (spettmeis) was dealing with a wild hazelnut in the birch tree above me :)

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!
