It would be interesting and fun to know if the 'known' squirrels from last year have survived.. Hope so!

Anyway they are all wild, not interested 'on humans', no begging or something like that. They come to eat nuts behind the window because they know they find them here, but they escape very soon if the notice me too clear. Curious they are, yes... but it is better that they keep on their wild life.

Still one video of 'Anja' or ' Smiley':

This winter and early springtime we have seen more birds than never before. Here are some of them to see. At best I saw about 15 Wood pigeons eating seeds at same time! Of course I didn't have camera at hands.



Some four or five Wood pigeons:



The whine there on background is Nappu, she wanted back outdoors at once and not later.. :D

WOW..so many Wood Pigeons :shock: It must be difficult for them to find food in nature now. Have you put out some food to them? And more snow, will it never end?

Thank you, Alice! Yes, they are cute! The video is being updated, I wish the view will be more balanced and not 'jumping' that much. It's wonderful that there is the possibility to add music on the background. These birds are solemn. It has never before happened that a whole flock of Wood pigeons land inside the dog fence..
