Trying In The Evening

This evening I went out to Vekeri Lake to see how the snowy landscape looks like under the starry sky by full moon:

Bramblings Again

It's very cold nowadays, but that doesn't hold me back from the weekend's photography. The good news is that generally cold weather attracts more birds to the feeder.

The bramblings appear quickly in a fair number:

Later a pheasant appears. Not a male this time, but a female followed by another one. They are walking cautiously closer and closer but I'm unable to make decent shots of them. Then the third one comes up. They are searching for seeds for a while before they sneak away.

This time I managed to record the levitation :)

Blue Tit

At the end of photography a woodpecker lands as well:

Mikepércs: Snowing

I'm setting off to my hide with high expectations this morning as it snows. Not heavily, but anyway the flakes are falling.
I manage to record some winter spirit with the tits:

The sparrows are coming too, ...:

... but a few bramblings arrive as well:

More and more finches visit the trustworthy place where there is nearly always something to eat:

The jays are landing for a few seeds as well:

Of course the nuthatch appears from time to time too:

Mikepércs: Thaw

This morning I find myself in the hide again. There's no signs of winter, no cold, no snow, no hoar.

This is how the marsh tits are trying to scare one another:

This time I manage to take an acceptable image of a jay:

Mikepércs: Bramblings

I would have liked to get the bramblings step on the "stage" for long. Until now they have searched the seeds only on the ground.
As soon as they appear I pay my attention only on them. One of them lands on the side of the pool for a moment:

Brambling

Soon another lands on the mossy branch:

They are quite cautious, don't spend too much time around the pool.
Meanwhile I manage to catch this blue tit while making a jump:
