The Sorbus commixta mentioned in a recent report are still laden with berries.
A variety of birds have arrived to feed on them. The ground under the trees along the road is littered with berries that were dropped by the birds, creating spots of bright red on the pure-white snow.
The bird in the photo is Coccothraustes coccothraustes. The hawfinches take turns eating the berries with large numbers of Bombycilla japonica, Bombycilla garrulus, Turdus eunomus, and other birds.
Bird-watching is an activity that can be enjoyed all through the year.
Even though this season offers fewer opportunities to venture outside, it might be a good idea to keep your binoculars ready.
