Kjøttmeis

Copy paste from email to brother EF and AK:

And this afternoon, I definitely heard and saw a Kjøttmeis! Or rather, perhaps several of them. I took their photos with our pocket camera. It was also so fascinating to see how they have started to make sort of 'crickety' (?) sounds when there was a cat around watching them intently. Those were alarm calls?

What wonder a homemaker can enjoy from home - nature just a step away from home. ;) But perhaps this is specially for a homemaker in Trondheim. :p

My first birds

I have been entertained by the birds for days now. There are a variety of them just outside my windows, but I think the songs I have learnt to recognise are ones by the Kjøttmeis and Blåmeis. :)

Kjøttmeis (Great tit): 'teach-you, teach-you, teach-you.'(There could be more than 3 'teach-you's)
Blåmeis (Blue tit): 'tchee-tchee-(and then followed by a long trill of)tchtchtchtch...(and fading off)'

Now there are more of these chirping creatures, and I'd love to know the names of the owners of such beautiful songs. And of course to inspect them closer. :)

To be happy

The only thing AK wants me to be is to be happy and contented.
