Mikepércs: Siskin

According to the weather forecast it was to be sunny today, however I had to start to photography in thick fog. I was hoping it would clear up later so that I could take some action shots as well. But it was foggy for hours.

The first shots have been taken of a siskin which landed on the side of the pool to have some water:

The water was covered by a thin layer of ice but this bird was able to find some drops of water:

Soon the sparrow hawk appeared, ...:

After the fog has disappeared, a few greenfinches landed too:

Mikepércs: Goldfinch And Greenfinches

As soon as I got into the hide this morning, a goldfinch appeared on the branch in front of the hide. I aimed at it at once, but it flew off after 2 shots:

But the greenfinches appeared soon as well:

A decent flock have gathered and jarrings took place quite often:

Suddenly the sparrow hawk landed on the side of the pool about 2 meters from me, but beeing so close, it started on the first shot of a continuous shooting. At the second shot it was still in the frame:

I've been very happy for the appearance of the flock of greenfinches and I hope I'll be able to take more action shots of them in the future.

The snow didn't last long, it's melting, but the hoary plants are nice on pictures with birds on them:

The sparrow hawk showed itself again but spent there only a couple of minutes:

Later the sun made the pictures more vivid:

One of the greenfinches landed on the side of the still snowy pool and it was picking some snow:
