I apologise for the bad condition of these pictures, but it has to be taken through glass, otherwise they instantly fly away and also by the time I get round to photographing them the sun has gone round the house to the back. The quiz is about my new visitor, who is much larger than the rest of the tits and finches, but has a definitely seed eating beak. The smaller birds are not afraid of it and they happily chomp away on the sunflower seeds which disappear very fast in these Siberian times.
Talking of Siberian times, there is a photo of our outside thermometer this morning and that wasn't first thing but around 10am. You can also see a picture of the inside of our large stove, which is now throwing out such heat that you can toast cheese on it. Not that I would, you understand!! :-)
Erika has just phoned, because she got lost in the next village 5k away. She managed the rest of the 75k perfectly and then she had to get lost there. Never mind, hopefully they'll be here in a minute and then I will have some lovely company for the weekend.
Will post when I get a minute, but doubt it'll be before they all went.

Can't me sure from the pictures, but I suspect a Hawfinch. Do a Google image search for Hawfinch and see if you recognise it.
And I'll see you in Portugal...
