Today’s post is a small collage of our most common birds in the present time.
Left above is Tree Sparrow, right is a Blue Tit, down to the left is Nuthatch and to the right is Great Tit, I thought the birds was looking for food in the winter but the Nuthatch seems he will play with a snow ball.
And they have a ranking list by the bird feeder;
1. Nuthatch, he chase away all the others
2. Blue Tit., he is the smallest but very tough.
3. Great Tit
4. Tree Sparrow.

This will be my last post for a while; I will be back when I have recovered from my problems,
Bells Paralysis. My doctor told me it could take up to 6 months, but it also could take a few weeks to be recovered. I will drop in now and then and keep one eye on you.;-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all friends on TN.

God Jul och Gott Nytt år.

Hello Gert!
Wonderful collage.All frames are well detailed and composed.I liked POV,framing and presentation a lot.I wish you also Merry Christmas and happy New Year.TFS...:-)

Hi Gert

Great post for the Christmas greetings. Each capture is very nice and with good sharpness/details. Colours look great and very natural. Interesting with the Nuthatch. I have had one on my feeding house too.
Sorry to hear about your problems though I do not know exactly what it is but as far as I know it is some problems with the facial nerves and control of the eye. I hope you will recover soon and not have too much pain.
A merry Christmas and a Happy Newyear to you and your family.

A beautiful collage Gert, my favourite is the top left, although all are worthy of their own post.
So sorry to hear you are suffering with your eye. I hope you recover well and soon.

Hello Gert,
a great presentation of these birds, each shot a winner. The nuthatch is my favourite, maybe the No.1 is threatening the others with snowballs.
I wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and especially a quick recovery. Will keep my fingers crossed for you! Do drop in if you can make it, any critiques, comments or posts will be much appreciated. Get well soon!

Another beautiful collage, Gert. Each bird has so much personality and is cute in its own way. Great shots each of them. Thank you for all your wonderful pictures. They have given me much pleasure throughout the year. Best wishes to you, Gert. : )

Hi Gert,
I don't have to tell that this is a perfect and wonderful collage, it is - as usual!
I'm shocked to read that you are ill and will leave us for months. I will miss you so much.
I'm always so happy to read your critiques and you always had a open ear and so much help for me, thank you so much.
All the best for you, come back soon.
Have wonderful Christmas-days and may all your wishes come true in 2006. Bye bye
I keep fingers crossed for you.
Love

This is a wonderful Christmas gift for us Gert. All these special little birds in the snow. In NZ the tui is the fiercest around the other birds.
They all look terrific. Thank you
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all too.

Excellent work my friend! No time for comment but well deserved :-)
P.S. Thanx for the e-card!!

Hi Gert,
My thoughts will be with you. I know you will be back soon. Your collage is excellent, as is all your work here. Have a great Holiday season, and wondeful New Year!

Hello Gert,

Very nice four.It is interesting to see a white undersided Nuthatch like Rock Nuthatch in Turkey.

Have a nice Christmas:))

Hi Gert

Lovely montage. A very nice set of birds. Each and everyone is clear, sharp and well exposed. Perfect management of the white. I have no favourite. I like them all equally. Only 2 hours till Christmas day here in New Zealand. Take care Gert and have a wonderful Christmas.

Hi Gert!
Have a Great merry Christmas!!!
Eduardo

This is lovely Gert, a wonderful collection of these great birds and photos.

I will pray for your speedy recovery and return to TN, you will be missed.

Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to you and your family.

Hi Gert,
Very beautiful birds, excellent sharpness and details.
Thank you and have a happy new year!

Sorry to hear of your illness. I have had this condition twice and it took me perhaps 8 weeks each time to recover. But do not fear, all your feeling will come back eventually.

A nice collage, I especially like the nuthatch playing; cute.

Have a great 2006
cheers
Chris
