Kingfisher near Creek

Here are some interesting observations I’ve made. Before the snowfall, I was out for a walk and noticed a kingfisher perched on a tree branch near a small creek. Interestingly, after the snowfall, I saw the same kingfisher in the same spot on the same tree branch. The timing of these sightings was nearly identical. This suggests that the kingfisher likely lives nearby and follows a consistent schedule.

Blue Tit all around

Blue tits are small, vibrant birds known for their striking blue and yellow plumage. They are common in gardens and woodlands across Europe. These agile birds often hang upside down while feeding on insects and seeds. Blue tits are also known for their curious and energetic behaviour . As soon as sun shines in winters, Blue tits make their presence felt with musical note of their chirps within snowy landscapes. They keep on hopping so fast on bushes that clicking one shot is an arduous task. Because in winters your fingers freezes quickly in -7 temperature.

Black Bird

There’s just something beautiful about walking on snow that nobody else has walked on. Some snow melts as sun shines yesterday and dry leaves under the tree was a playground for this Black Bird. Orange ring around eye of Black Bird really stands out.
