  1. OU mikä kuva! Onko tuo toinen sini- vai talitiainen vai joku muu?

  2. Looks like a whirling dervish of a Blue Tit is photo bombing here. Yesterday a Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) was at my feeders. It is superficially quite similar to your Eurasian Nuthatch, but of course our bird is superior. Tough, hardy, strong, fearless - Canadian! But wait, Finland is a northern country with snow and ice, and cold winters and strong winds with frigid blasts. I guess we’ll have to call it a draw! Long may nuthatches brighten our lives!

    1. A draw maybe. It was minus 23 degrees here a couple of days ago. It's starting to get cold to be outside. And that other bird is indeed a Blue Tit.
