Common Blackbird [koltrast]

Where there are apples, there are blackbirds. Most of them eat the apple as if from a bowl – the half one here has been eaten on by a fieldfare. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on February 9, 2018.

European Blue Tit [blåmes]

They're all over, really. Tiny but cute. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on February 6, 2018.

Common Redpoll [gråsiska]

The common redpolls are still regular guests at our feeding station. Most of them pick seeds on the ground, but some of them have a more bold approach and take up residens in the feeder … What can I say – I love them! Pics from A. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on February 6, 2018.

Marsh Tit [entita]

One of the best things of providing a variety of food at one's feeding station, is that on cold days like this, you get visits from a variety of birds. The marsh tits want sunflower seeds, the blackbirds go for the apples, while the great tits can do almost anything for a peanut. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on February 6, 2017.

Eurasian Nuthatch [nötväcka]

The temperature is some –10° (Celsius), and these are busy days at our feeding station. But as soon as we go outside with our camera and not a refill of peanuts or lard, all birds take to the treetops … Except, today, for one nuthatch. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on Monday 05, 2018.

Common Redpoll [gråsiska]

It seems as if some of the common redpolls have decided to stay a bit longer, I often see them searching for food near our feeding station. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on January 6, 2018.

Hooded Crow [kråka]

A nice day for a bath? No, it's too cold even for the crows searching the shores for food. Kallbadhuset, Ljungskile, on January 6, 2018.

Common Redpoll [gråsiska]

What a nice surprise! We have some redpolls visiting at our feeding station. They are so beautiful with their bright red helmets. Impossible to get a nice pic of, however. Pics from A. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on December 18, 2017.

Twite [vinterhämpling]

This is a first for me! Actually, I've got plenty of pics of this particular piece of granite, but usually there's a pipit or a northern wheatear on top. Today a twite had chosen this spot to overlook the salt meadow. Haby bukt, Ramsvikslandet nature reserve, on September 30, 2017.
