Stel dat hij morgen weer langs komt...

Morgen mogen we weer merels tellen en mussen turven. Want dan organiseert de Vogelbescherming weer de jaarlijkse Nationale Tuinvogeltelling.

Op de site van de Nationale Tuinvogeltelling staat een overzicht van de 25 meest voorkomende tuinvogels. 18 van die 25 vogels heb ik wel eens in onze tuin gezien.

De laatste weken zie ik voornamelijk merels.

Winterkoninkjes zijn moeilijk te fotograferen. Zo klein, zo snel!

Vlaamse gaaien zijn ontzettend schuw. Deze zat hoog in de boom zijn veren te poetsen.

Afgelopen dinsdag zag ik een vreemde vogel. Het was een witte duif met bruine vlekken.

Stel dat hij morgen weer langs komt, tel ik hem dan bij de Turkse tortels? Of, heeft deze vogel een andere naam?

What striking colors for a dove! We only have the gray ones. How fun to participate in the bird count. Ours is usually in February, and the whole family has fun counting the birds at the feeders and in the yard!

The color of this dove was a strange surprise. All other doves I've seen in our garden are gray.

Jays are so beautiful. It's a pity they are so shy.

Your blog is so exquisite. I have spent twenty minutes admiring your photographs and learning more about your plants in the garden. Especially plants with berries because I also love to plant for my birds. I would love to see an overview shot of your garden, if you ever post something like that. Here in Portland, Oregon, we have a classical Japanese Garden that is considered the most authentic in the United States. Thank you for sharing such beauty.

Thank you Susan. You are lucky to live near such a beautiful garden. I read in Sukiya Living magazine (the journal of Japanese gardening) that the Portland Japanese Garden is one of North America’s highest-quality Japanese gardens.
My Garden is very small, you can see an overview on my homepage http://denisenoniwa.weebly.com/.

I loved the video. Your jays are quite different from our bluejays, which are larger and with much more blue. Ours are aggressive birds, and a lot of people don't like them.

Our Jays are very shy. They can make a lot of noise. But I really like them.

I too like your jay. Very different from both our eastern and western jays. The first image is my favorite. I like all the similar tones in the image.

Yes blackbirds are easy to photograph, even from inside on a dark day. They are not shy or hasty.

love this post, great photos, and I also enjoyed the video. I wonder if the jay had just finished having a bath. I have wrens in the garden and so far haven't been able to take a photo, they're so fast.

The Jays like to visit our garden pond. To bathe, to drink and to search for food under the stones.

Die duif is een stadsduif, niet direct een Turkse tortel dus. Hier ligt nu een dik pak sneeuw vandaag, dat betekent extra vogels aan de voederplank

Dankjewel. Dat was de eerste keer dat een stadsduif ons stadstuintje bezocht. Hij is ook niet meer teruggekomen voor de tuinvogeltelling. Ik telde wel: 1 vink, 1 huismus, 1 kauw, 3 heggenmussen, 1 pimpelmeesje, 1 ekster, 2 koolmeesjes, 3 merels, 1 houtduif, 1 roodborstje en 2 turkse tortels.

Stel dat hij morgen weer langs komt...
