I noticed a flock of birds from my desk that landed in a rowan tree. My first impression was fieldfares (gr\u00e5trost) and waxwings (sidensvans) but neither seemed quite right! Through binoculars I saw immediately they were pine grosbeaks (konglebiter) which are large finches!\u00a0Rowan berries are their preferred winter food A new species for my garden, adding weight to my theory that if you wait long enough they will come to you! This was the species I had most wanted to see and had been looking out for them as there is a big invasion on in my area! I managed to get a very short video from which the two still pictures are taken before the whole flock (27) flew off westwards, the biggest number ever recorded in Malvik Kommune :)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23767\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak2.jpg 318w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak2-286x300.jpg 286w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak2-300x314.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak.jpg 563w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak-255x300.jpg 255w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PineGrosbeak-300x353.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 790px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-23766-1\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Scarlet_grosbeak.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Scarlet_grosbeak.mp4\">http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Scarlet_grosbeak.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>A &#8220;slightly&#8221; better picture of these beauties from Wikicommons (Ron Knight from Seaford, East Sussex, United Kingdom):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23774\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Pine_Grosbeak_Pinicola_enucleator_13667564073-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Pine_Grosbeak_Pinicola_enucleator_13667564073-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Pine_Grosbeak_Pinicola_enucleator_13667564073-1-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Pine_Grosbeak_Pinicola_enucleator_13667564073-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great excitement this morning!
