Feeding nuthatches from hand in a local park
Adore to feed those little fellows during winter season. Birds are quite brave and do not hesitate to take their favourite treats from hands pointed at them. I have had a session of feeding those fellows and tits during this winter. Emotions happening when a wild bird sits down to your fingers are indescribable.
Bullfinch feemale
The bullfinch, common bullfinch or Eurasian bullfinch is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. In Anglophone Europe it is known simply as bullfinch, as it is the original bird to bear the name bullfinch. Wikipedia
Some new winter shots

Birds in a feeder
The feeder is handmade by me. Birds were there all the time in similar quantities. I was amazed by the speed and crowd they were making... Full Flickr version: Canon 6D, Canon EF 100-400L ƒ4.5-5.6 IS USM, at 400mm, ISO2000, 1/320, ƒ/5.6
