För några veckor sedan när jag kröp runt en gammal granlåga för att se vad som växte på den märkte jag något som tittade upp i mossan en bit bort. När jag vände på huvudet för att se vad det var såg jag ingenting. Kan det ha varit en groda som jag hade sett? Då tittade den upp igen. En liten tofsmes! När jag hade sett den så såg jag ett par till. Dom verkade inte bry sig särskilt mycket om min närvaro där dom for runt och letade efter mat i mossan.

A few weeks ago when I was crawling around an old fallen spruce tree to see what was growing on it, I noticed something looking up from the moss a short bit away from me. When I turned my head to see what it was, I didn't see anything. Could it have been a frog? Then it popped up again. A little Crested Tit! Once I'd seen it I saw a couple more. They didn't seem to care much about my presence as they moved around looking for food in the moss.

Been having a not-so-good time recently, so I drew some good bois to cope. Would highly recommend. (●’◡’●)ﾉ

we are not done with cute small birds which live in sweden and belong to the “tit” family and are so cute it should be ILLEGAL

here we got what in english is called: european crested tit (Lophophanes cristatus). in swedish it is “tofsmes”. which translated to “ponytail - softie” or “ponytail - dork” (alternative tassel - wimp).

it is called such because of the tuft of feathers on its head. perhaps this means it would be called tuft - softie in english? i was having a hard time to find a good translation of “tofs” to english.

also! it! is! too! cute!

illegal cuteness!

chilling among pines and spruce which is its many hobby in life x

I had a good art-day yesterday and figured out how to paint feathers properly.

Lördagskväll, akvarell, 14x9 cm

Igår åkte jag och våra hundar till timmerkojan, för att få en dos skog. Jag målade den här lilla friluftsmålningen under tiden som solen gick ner. Mitt ute på tjärnen njöt två lommar stillsamt av kvällen.

I morse när vi gick ut hälsades vi av en tofsmes i en av tallarna alldeles bredvid kojan.

Saturday evening, watercolour, 14x9 cm

Me and our dogs went to the cabin yesterday, to get a dose of forest. I painted this small plein air as the sun was setting. Two loons (the bird, Gavia Arctica, to avoid misunderstanding) were quietly enjoying the evening in the middle of the lake.

This morning as we stepped outside we were greeted by a crested tit in one of the pine trees right next to the cabin.
