Finally getting colder ...

I haven't been able to spend a lot of time at the hide lately, only 1 short session. Still the same visitors: Great tits (Koolmees), Blue tits (Pimpelmees), Crested tits (Kuifmees), Eurasian jay (Gaai), Blackbird (Merel), European robin (Roodborst), Eurasian nuthatches (Boomklever), Eurasian wren (Winterkoning), 2 Common buzzards (Buizerd), Squirrel (Eekhoorn) and 2 Roe deer (Ree). Also1 new species, Eurasian siskin (Sijsje). I hope to spend more time in the hide the next few weeks to discover more new visitors as winter and cold are (hopefully) coming.

Hawfinch !

Last week I went to the new hide to make some photos. For the first time I stayed in the hide for a few hours to check out the activity and the visitors. I was very happy when one of my 'objectives' appeared in front of the hide: the Hawfinch (Appelvink). He just came over the drink a short time before he flew off again, but gave me just enough time for 1 photo. Other visitors: Great tits (Koolmees), Blue tits (Pimpelmees), Crested tits (Kuifmees), Eurasian jay (Gaai), Blackbird (Merel), European robin (Roodborst), Short-toed treecreeper (Boomkruiper), Eurasian nuthatches (Boomklever), Common chaffinch (Vink), Eurasian wren (Winterkoning) and 2 Common buzzards (Buizerd).
