Common Bullfinch
Yet another fluffy feather ball on a cloudy autumn day. This Eurasian Bullfinch, Common Bullfinch, or just Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) tries hard to sit upright for the photoshoot.
Birds
Common wood pigeon
"Look-LOOK-LOOK--look-look, it's me, your favourite Common Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus). Coo-COO-COO--coo-coo."
Mallard
A floating Mallard or Wild Duck (Anas platyrhynchos) half awake and half asleep in a lake hidden in the bushes.
Great Spotted Woodpecker
The Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) is a regular guest and just visited to peek through the kitchen window. They love to collect ripe hazelnuts and crack them at their favourite branch fork of this very tree.
Western Jackdaw
This curious Western Jackdaw (Coloeus monedula) is the #firstbirdfacingright @lightwisephoto. Whyever, all previous uploaded photos until now show birds facing left.
Eurasian Jay
Lucky snapshot of a Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) under quite sub-optimal circumstances through a window on a rather cloudy autumn evening. Even if it's not visible at first sight, this bird belongs to the crow family Corvidae.
Waterhen
This Common Moorhen or Waterhen or Swamp Chicken (Gallinula chloropus) nicely blends into the surrounding of the lakeshore. Eagerly looking for something to eat: #busybird
Blue tit
This little fella tries to impress everybody with its flexing skills. It's a lovely Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) at the bird feeding station at the balcony.
