Lauanataina oli upea aurinkoinen pakkaspäivä, mutta oikein mikään ei tuntunut silloin onnistuvan - tuttu virsi tältä talvelta. Sitten kanahaukan saalistuskuvan onnistumisen en ole keksinyt oikein mitään todella innostavaa projektia. Nyt saisi jo kääntyä kunnolla kohti kevättä, josko sitten alkaisi kehittyä uusia ideoita tai vanhoja toimivia saisi käyttöön.

Winter is still strongly holding on. Night temperatures are really freezing even day time snow I a bit smelting at places where sun is strongly shining. Weather forecast promises still cold till to end of next week, but there is some South-Westerly streams coming.

Bearded Tits manage surprising well over hard winters. Cold seems not to be the critical thing for the species. More important thing is how the reed beds stands up during winter snow falls. This winter lot of reed beds has collapsed but still quite much is up. One important thing for survival may be over wintering Great Grey Shrikes. They often hunting over reed beds during winter and if there is not much small rodents (like is situation today), Bearded Tits may easily get targets.
