Marsh tit (Poecile palustris)

 The Marsh tit has become one of my favorites !  In the summer time I don't notice it very much but it has lately been one of the most noticeable and cutest of the birds around our house. As always click on the picture to enlarge it !

Coal tit

 The coal tit or cole tit, (Periparus ater) is very similar to the big tit and even if it has been around, and I am sure it has, this is the first time I have taken a photo of it. Unfortunately the light was not the best so the colors and the sharpness is not the best. Still fun to introduce a new bird to the blog !

November III

 It has been another very windy and grey day and you don't see much to report. The Blue tits are, however, always cute and fun to watch. This one was sitting in a tree not far from a big oak behind which I could hide :)

I saw one more animal that really surprised me!

You have seen this one several times before but ...

Finally a small sign that the black current bush is ready for spring already!

November II

 Some more pictures from a cold but sunny day.

November

 Svångemåla in November is a somewhat different place to what we experience in the summer.  Much darker, less colors, cooler but still fantastic! Many birds are still around, a few flowers have survived the frost and the air is as fresh as ever!

We have not yet had any real storms but the wind was strong enough to break off the top of a fir that is one of six that has died due to spruce bark beetles. It fell not far from our small glasshouse and landed on our electric fence. Nothing was damaged though. 

A couple of birds to finish today's report :)

First a Blue tit...

and then a Marsh tit.
