#Eurasian Chaffinch

[hellsitegenetics]

Has anyone tried to send you a carefully composed ask before that specifically contains the genome of something they intend?

Now you'd think that by sending this ask, I may have done this very thing. But that would be too much effort for me.

Or is it....

There are 37 confirmed bird species on my list, that I've seen visiting in our yard. Here are few visitors from today (April 19th, 2024) and my newest confirmed bird species, Dunnock (Rautiainen) is in the last photo! 🥰

Other birds in the photos are a young Blackbird (nuori Mustarastas), Blue tit (Sinitiainen), Eurasian chaffinch (Peippo) and European robin (Punarinta).

We also had Western jackdaws (Naakkoja), Eurasian siskins (Vihervarpusia), Willow tits (Hömötiaisia), Great tits (Talitiaisia), Eurasian tree sparrows (Pikkuvarpusia), at least one Common redpoll (Urpiainen) and a Great spotted woodpecker visiting us today. Oh and I also saw a Fieldfare (Räkättirastas) and a Redwing (Ounakylkirastas) pecking under bushes nearby our house. 😁

I stood a moment outside close by the birdfeeder (apple tree) and just enjoyed watching and listening all the birds. Lovely day untill it started snowing again ❄️❄️❄️ Poor birds that came here too early from someplace warm. It is cold out there now, when it's -4°C and the wind makes it feel much colder than it is. 🥶🙁

It´s Cold - Es ist kalt:-)

Pascha likes to sit on the radiator in the kitchen. I think he looks like a "slug" but a cute one:-)

My personal highlights - 2023 - part 7:

Songbirds. They are everywhere, mostly small and fast and I am still happy with every good picture I get.

(And yes, I know crow are songbirds as well, but they get their own post)

Vigilant chaffinch on his branch

There was a neighborhood cat following me around these trees, and they seemed as interested in the birds as I was... maybe not for the same outcome ^^'
