Mikepércs: Still In Snow

There's some snow again, I make another try with the juniper branch.
The tits are coming to the seeds placed on the frozen pool:

The great tits are picking the juniper berries more and more often:

Somehow the jays haven't come today, the sparrows stayed away too. I could hear the hawfinches but they haven't appeared in front of me I'm afraid.

Mikepércs: Winter Feeling Again

Today I would have liked to transmit the winter feeling again with my photos, so I purchased some nice frosty plants.
After the tits the jays appear soon, one of them lands on the snowy landing branch. In the next moments it makes a jump sweeping off almost all the frost from one of the plants :(
The tits are the next ones, but they don't do such a thing:

Mikepércs: Some Winter Feeling

Today I wanted to show more of the winter feeling making some changes in the surroundings. I have changed some twigs except this one with nice berries:

The vegetation is still frosty thanks to the cold weather:

Mikepércs: Winter Begins

I started feeding the birds a week ago at the usual place, and this morning I want to see the results and of course I want to do some photography.
Soon after I placed the landing branch the flock of tits are coming:

Suddenly a pheasant cock is walking near my hide in silence, but I know he's sneaking to the feeder to pick up the fallen seeds. After some time he's coming back with interest to the frozen drinking pool where I have placed the seeds and with a light jump he's on top of the pool. I haven't placed too much seed and what I've placed it's gone by this time, so my pheasant is unlucky as he can't find anything:

However he tries the little blue berries of my landing branch! He doesn't like it so he leaves.
As soon as I've placed some food again the tits are back:

The jays appear as well, they come for the sunflower seed one after the other. For my greatest pleasure one of them is even jumping on my branch:
