@George
you can trust the birds, they know very well what they are doing.
Sovon.nl tells that on 3 and 4 March tens of thousands cranes were observed flying over te eastern part of the Netherlands.
last week also the wintering Great Tits went home, but due to the bad weather all over Europe our usual Tits have not arrived yet.

B489

Good catch, (s)he is new bird here in this winter!
We saw B489 here one year ago on 15th of March 2012. This WTE is born in 2009 on Vormsi island about 30km SW from the feeder. From same nest is born both A479 in 2008 and V437 in 2007 seen here this winter... so we have juveniles from the same nest three years in a row. Quite suprising!

Wow - that´s great !!! Did they all have siblings in their birthyears?
