Mikepércs: Tits and Some Winter Mood

The last day and the last photography of this year has arrived. By morning the white frost has covered the trees beautifully so I hoped I could add some winter mood to the photos, suuposing the tits would like it too. Anyway they come in flocks to the feeder in the forest. I couldn't take photos only of the single blue tit, all other 3 species are here:

Marsh Tit

I think the coal tit will be a regular visitor at the feeder:

Mikepércs: Coal Tits, Woodpeckers and Jays

Today I went for bird photography again after a long pause for I have installed a bird feeder at the hide in the forest. Recently I noticed that besides the great and marsh tits the coal tits and great spotted woodpeckers visit the feeder. These didn't come last winter. So I focused on these species:

This time I recorded only the male woodpecker:

Even the jays turned up and reappeared regularly to have some seed. This individual had quite a unique headdress:
