Garden Dwellers, Winter Time

Although we are having a thaw right now, I managed to make some close-ups of my neighbours last week, as promised. Birds of all kinds came to visit me while I was preparing for the exams (hence had little time to post anything, but one can always find a moment to drag a camera out, if something more interesting than studies is happening around ;)

So here they are, my flying neighbours!

It has finally snowed all across Europe and now the plants in my garden are sleeping under a fluffy white blanket. The sitting-stumps and the grill-place in making look like puffy white islands in the sea of 30 cm-deep snow

The insect hotel seems to be empty, perhaps because I've put it up too late in season and all the flying insects have found other places to hide for winter. However, we still have birds and a curious neighbour's cat.
