Mikepércs: Tits on Pussy Willows

According to weather forecast it was to be raining today, so I was very happy to wake up for a more or less sunny morning. I was hoping to catch the bramblings today which appeared several times recently under the feeder picking seeds there but I haven't been prepared for this until now. This time however I set the table for them using nice green moss. One of them did land there but before it could settle down on a good place came a regular woodpecker and bundled it off. And the brambling didn't return any more. So the tits remained for me. But I like them, they are the birds that you can always count on:

Mikepércs: Tits in Action

Today morning I sat into the hide made for buzzard photography. I was waiting for them for about 3 hours but they didn't come. Only two hooded crows landed but didn't stay long. So I decided to visit the hide near the feeder. The tits were very active, the sun was shining brightly so I was able to take some action shots:

The Blue Tit stopped for a moment at last:

Mikepércs: Catching the Blue Tit

Today a tried to catch some good moments at the feeder but perhaps for the springlike weather the tits were a bit more moderate. Having caught this Blue Tit in flight was a compensation:

Mikepércs: Birds in Snowing

When I woke up today morning it was snowing. I would have liked for long to take photos in snowing. This has happened today. Beside the usual tits any woodpeckers a few bramblings came to have some food from the ground but I didn't manage to take shots of them. On the other hand I managed to record the only blue tit that is visiting the feeder:
