Eurasian Jay

The last few days I've been watching, and listening to, the birds a little more than usual. Partly this is because we've now set up a feeding station near the house, so I can see them more easily. However, it is also because there are far more species here than in a "normal" winter.
The waxwings arrived in December and are still hanging around, mostly working their way through the super-abundant rowan berries that appeared on the trees this year, but they sometimes land under the feeder and hoover up a few crumbs that have fallen to the snow. The waxwings usually appear in October, gobble up all the berries in a few days, and then disappear southwards for another year.
Another bird that migrates by, headed north in spring, and southward in autumn, is the fieldfare. Again there are still fairly large flocks hanging around, mostly feeding on the rowan berries too.
The most unusual bird I've seen (yesterday) is a goldfinch (extra). These live in the southern areas of Sweden and have no business being this far north. They've occasionally appeared here in summer over the last ten years but having one here mid-winter is a first. It was being bullied away from the food by the finches and tits so things don't look good for the explorer.
The other birds, green finches (extra), bull finches, sparrows, blue and great tits, plus the jay pictured are our more usual visitors.
To get some reasonable pictures of the birds I had to dig out the camera which has been unused since I got my latest iphone. The phone gives good pictures in many situations but not when telephoto is required.
