Today, to the cemetery.
In a big tree near the entry, a male chaffinch.
A bit later in the same tree, a female chaffinch and a greenfinch.
Then, a nuthatch on a thick branch near a patch of snow.
A blue tit on another branch.
Later, not far away, two hawfinches, and a great tit.
Jay, magpie, and blackbird sounds.

Thank you!
Hawfinches are fairly rare. But as their sound is not loud, and they often hide high in trees, still less people see them.

Right. Ducking out of the picture! 😀 They used to visit me pretty regularly for a while. Thing I got av couple of dozen shots all together, but it’s a rare bird!

Sometimes in winter, they are more visible, as trees become leafless, and they sometimes feed on the ground. In summer, they often hide in leafy treetops.
