Great tit (Parus major)

 One of the most overlooked birds, I think, is the Great tit. It is so common in Sweden and Svångemåla that it is easy to not notice what a wonderful, cute bird it is. I put this on a Facebook group in Sweden called "Birds around the corner" (Fåglar runt knuten) and within 24 hours more than 1250 had reacted positively to it. That is a large portion of the group !

Great Tit (Parus major)

It is a male and he sat down in our old apple tree enjoying a bit of sunshine. 

Christmas Day

 Still no snow but the wind is coming from the north and the temperatures are around 0 C. 

The sun came out for a very short while and to see it I went to the Field and used the lone tree to be able to take a picture of the blue sky.

Merry Christmas !

 We have no snow in Svångemåla but the silence and the darkness makes it a wonderful place to be when celebrating Christmas ! 

There are not many birds or other animals around but a blue tit came to our bird table to enjoy a sunflower seed.
