This week's topic is - FREE THEME

What about wintering birds that can now be found in the forests?

alt

Willow Tit

These tits can be found year-round in both forests and city parks.

alt

Nuthatch

As well as these nimble fellows.

alt

Great tit

And, of course, those yellow-bellied guys.

alt

Long-tailed rosefinch

These birds are rare, and you need to know where to look for them. Look for them along railroads or rivers.

alt

Common Goldfinch

These birds now fly in large flocks, and for some reason I only see them in the treetops in winter.

alt

Common treecreeeper

I feel very sorry for this bird, as it's an insectivore, and it has an incredibly difficult time in winter. It's very difficult to find insects under the bark, and for plant food, it's forced to eat small tree seeds or pick up crumbs left by other birds.

alt

Common Bullfinch and Grey Bullfinch

These plump birds eat rowan berry seeds and box elder seeds in winter. The Grey Bullfinch is rare.

alt

Long-tailed Tit

This white beauty lives exclusively in forests.

alt

Fieldfare Thrush

This species of thrush is very distinctive. When winters are cold, they fly away from my region, but when winters are warm, they fly through forests, parks, and groves, feeding on rowan berries.

alt

Redpoll

These northern birds arrive in late autumn, just as frost sets in. They're hard to miss, as they fly in large, noisy flocks.

alt

Waxwing

Another typical winter bird. They also like to gather in noisy, large flocks. Sometimes they can be seen right in the yard.

Great Spotted Woodpecker, Grey-headed Woodpecker, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Black Woodpecker, Three-toed Woodpecker, White-backed Woodpecker

And of course woodpeckers!
