I'd Rather B Birdin'

Ice, snow and a late visitor

First of all, thank you all for your lovely comments to my previous post(s)! I haven't visited everyone yet, but will do it as soon as I can.

The late visitor of this post is this chubby fellow, photographed some days ago. I think it is a Eurasian woodcock (Scolopax rusticola). I have never seen one so near.  They should be crepuscular and I was wondering if there's something wrong. It was able to fly and I do hope it started/continued its migration before the weather turned colder.

Onko tämä lehtokurppa? Se vietti muutaman päivän melkein pihapiirissämme lokakuun lopussa, mutta nyt sitä ei ole enää näkynyt. Toivottavasti se lähti etelään ajoissa! Lentokykyinen se ainakin oli.

Added on Friday: A Cyanistes caeruleus

Yes, we have had some snow by now. I seem to take the same photos every year, the lake getting gradually frozen, the pier covered with snow... I can't help it, snow and ice are just so cool. :)

My last year's post dedicated to ice can be found here. It's one of my favourites.

Hyvää viikonloppua ja rauhallista pyhäinpäivää!

Squirrels and swans

A catchy title for this post would have been "Pole Dance". :) Our bird feeder is now in a new - yet temporary - place and with some wooden parts replaced with plastic ones because this flipping adorable rascal already destroyed them.

This is a Eurasian red squirrel, in grey winter coat but with ear-tufts still small.

Whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) are really handsome birds and we are happy to see nowadays more of them.

Synchronised cygnets: Heads up...

... heads down. :)

If I go out, this is what I usually manage to capture...

Thank you, Eileen, Anni and Jesh!

Have a lovely weekend!

♥!

And there was morning... :)

We have already had some frosty mornings. Our feathered and furry friends are busy foraging almost from the sunrise till the sunset.
