Actually I don't know. I also don't know where the young ones go, this was my first season with them. But I keep my fingers crossed, that you will see them tomorrow again! Maybe so close that you can get a few better photos?

But the goldfinch is also beautiful! Have not seen one here.


:peek:

I learned,
that NORI, ELO and UNO will come "home" maybe in three years to raise their own families ^^

Who knows where on their first years they will fly around? Not all young birds do what people expect them to do! :whistling:

Wow, Manu. :loveshower: I was just about to ask what was that beautiful bird. But Lussi05 said it already: European Goldfinch. Stunning. :nod:

And an osprey! :shock: :thumbs: I can´t believe they could be coming back, at least not to the Northern Europe yet. It´s still a long winter ahead here... :puzzled:

The last few day's I was in contact with different persons ( Urmas/NABU/Vogelwarte Sempach/CH and others). A few persons don't answering till yet. It seems it was really a bright/light coloured buzzard .
It's a bit embarrassing I meant it was an osprey, but otherwise it's good it wasn't. Because the low temperatures in this area.
Now I'm looking forward and hope I will see this birds (We saw that were 2 birds same colour/size) once again in this area.

Today I was testing my new cam. Unfortunately it was not really nice weather (cold and cloudy) but I find some nice object to take the first steps to learn how to operate with this cam.

Yes, it´s my birdfeeder :laugh:

A colleague of my husband de-installed his observation camera and DH could get it :shake:

It has a wide angle lense and so it is not so good for snapshots, but I can watch live a lot of the feeding places the birdies prefer .... the appletree and the evergreen Thuja and the ground :shake:

And Dear Husband and Dear Son had a lot of fun installing it :thumbs:
