Cyanistes caeruleus
Winter is coming and these delightful little birds can be seen closer to houses again. The loss of foliage is also making them easier to observe. I heard this one before I spotted it at my window. This species can easily be recognized with its blue and yellow plumage, white cheeks and azure blue crown and dark blue line passing through the eye. It remains a resident of Europe in winter.

Thanks again Dr. Sherpa!
Strange, similar birds are seen some thousands km away at these places! Liked the series.
Your mission, your rules:-) You may have a hard time to police the mission for this. From www.vogelwarte.com we know the species we should expect. I'm more about documenting occurence and distribution of all observations, but that's me. We can always get that data from the Swiss Wildlife mission by narrowing it down to the Birds category. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1093...
I will Jonathan, thanks for creating it! In time I'll add my existing spottings.
Thank you guys. They are a delight to watch. When I see them so close I know the snow is not far.
