7 months agoCarduelis Carduelis, one of my favorite birds. They sing amazingly (plus they’re cute). My mother doesn’t use her lawnmower too much or at least leaves some areas untouched, so it’s not rare to spot those birds. I’ve seen up to 20+ at the same spot, eating on the ground or relaxing in apple trees.
I love seeing them climb down trees head first. First time I saw this I was like “wait a second there HEAD FIRST?!” I knew about short-toed treecreepers abilities as very good climbers but European nuthatches are next level.
