Mikepércs: Freezing Spring

It's been a freezing morning today. My new hide is almost ready near the Vekeri-lake, but the bathing pool isn't working yet, it needs a good setup. For the present only the tits come, to have some sunflower seed of course. There are other birds too nearby, siskins, hawfinches can be heard, but robins, warblers, thrushes can be seen nearby as well.

Mikepércs: Enclosed in Ice

It's the middle of march and the winter has returned. The previous day's rain has frozen onto everything, which I didn't mind as it gave me a good opportunity for making a photography trip. On my way to my new hide the trees were crunching on every breeze. Especially the plants enclosed in ice gave me good photo themes:

Here's a trunk of a tree covered fully by ice ...:

... and one of its branches:

I took a few landscapes too:

These shots were taken from my new half-made hide near the Vekeri-lake (only tits yet):

If someone knows what this is, don't hesitate to tell me:

Late in the afternoon I made a short trip again to take some shots in the lights of the setting sun:

Mikepércs: Something new at last

Today I ran for finches again. The photography started as usual: with the Woodpeckers and the Tits:

Later however a Yellowhammer landed, a young one if I am right:

I had some food then flew away.

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:
