Yes, of course. Coming now

i have to confess, that i liked the old feeder and cam view more :peek:

Kuremari, I have to agree with you. Last year's cam was much more entertaining and interesting! I don't know if anyone involved with this project reads this forum. I see some members have asked questions. They deserve an answer, too!

Please, Loodusemees, can you help us?

I have to agree in this point...

These 2 birds are Marsh Tits for sure. I saw and photographed them just a few hours ago. They were calling and since the calls of Willow and Marsh Tit are quite different the species could be determined for sure

Nice pictures Ricky.
But, i still don't see the different, learning for yet more.

My husband says :
Marsh Tit is one of the bands, by the throat, smaller.
the Willow Tit, the bands, wider at the throat.

With the Great Tit
The male the band is wider. from throat to bottom of the abdomen. / median line
( sorry, for translate the right word ? )

True!
The black patch at the chin of the Willow Tit is - usually - broader/bigger!
And the Willow Tit also has some lighter (almost white) coloured featheres in the wing. Marsh Tits have wings without any white colours.

Here these white feathers in the wing are quite well visible:

Yes, the male Great Tits have a broader black band on the belly.

I'm from Florence to Italy and I'm very content to participate to this forum even if my English is not good.
I have known the cams of Looduskalender through http://www.birdcam.it (cams of peregrine falcon in Bologna, Roma and Firenze) where we have a topic dedicated to cam in Estonia and where I have mailed many pics the last year of Black Stork and this year of Linda e Suvel and Klaara.

I have had problems to mail here the pics but I have resolved, this is a test:

Hi Daniela
you are most welcome
glad that you solved the problem with pictures...it may really seem a little tricky at the beginning....great capture!!

[Fleur]

Hello Daniela

The language need not be a problem.
I must translate everything.
Beautiful picture

[Jo UK]

Welcome, Daniela. Good to have you with us.

The birds wake up already.

[vaino]

10:00, Cold weather brings the birds out to the feeder.

[alice44]

I think a huge flock of crows was just playing outside the feeder. It sounded like it was more birds than one could count.

cool captures, Daniela!
when i opened the cam, the stream was freezing all the time, too little light i guess
i like the pictures taken in sunshine...there are so nice shadows
