On the first morning of the year we were awoken by this crazy Hawfinch. About half an hour long he (she?) jumped from the windowsill to the feeder and back again, and knocked the windowpane. One jump, one knock-knock. I don't know if he (she?) wanted to get to those plants behind the pane, or to bundle out "that one" which stayed there and stared to him (her) again and again.
Tits come many times and want to get at the plants to search for caterpillars maybe, but they realise rapidly that there is some material they can't get through. But this fool thing wanted in no way to give up. Hawfinch is a quite aggressive bird, it never lets any other to come to the feeder, so I can imagine that he (she?) saw his (her?) image in the pane and thought it was another bird which must be bundled out.
So, I wish a very happy new year to everybody! :)
