Greetings friends.
I am writing the third post in a row about our feathered friends. Why? Because the bird restaurant started working outside my window in the garden.
And I began to be surprised by the visitors. Three days before the restaurant opened, tits began hanging out in the garden. Oh yes, these yellow birds are always the main regular visitors.
On the very first day, jay had already flown to me. I wasn't even surprised.
But yesterday I was surprised by a woodpecker. Maybe it will be a regular customer of the restaurant now? In previous seasons, woodpeckers also visited me, but yesterday this one flew all day from the feeder to the electric pole and to the larch tree at the neighboring house.
The main food for woodpeckers in winter in our area is fir cones or rather seeds extracted from cones. By the way, one day a woodpecker flew from the forest with a cone in its beak to an electric pole near my house and started pecking at it. The seeds in the fir cones are much smaller in size than the sunflower seed. In May of this year, when a lot of snow fell, I saw a woodpecker at the feeder. Maybe it's still the same guy? Autumn came, it snowed and probably the woodpecker remembered the rich deposits of sunflower.
I have already prepared 200kg of sunflower seeds. I also put up a large feeder. I think the birds will be happy about it.
Gymnastics and acrobatics are important sports exercises in the life of birds.
Guy, where have you been before? I would show you in the "Bird's Wings" theme by @nelinoeva. By the way, it turned out that I have a similar photo that I took in May. But there was another old feeder. And I showed the photo in May.
By the way, woodpeckers love the old electric poles in our village. It seems to me that a little more time will pass and the pillars will begin to fall. They still remember the old Soviet times.
By the way, I took a photo of a woodpecker on an electric pole through the branches of a tree. I needed to find a gap between the branches to catch a clear angle of the bird. This is not an easy task. But it seems to me that I did it!
But the jay didn't want to be photographed. She was hiding in the branches of a tree.
In the summer, I wanted to delete the extra branches, but then I canceled this decision. The absence of branches threatens the death of small birds. In winter, a hawk sometimes flies to the feeder and birds seek protection from it among the branches.
I think that this year the birds will surprise me and surprise me many more times with their presence and behavior.
