5-14°C, wind light from SW, light cloud clearing, sunny, pressure 1014 hPa and falling

Identified the "song" of the Middle Spot today though believe I may of heard it last week and passed it off as one of the many Jay calls and of course it may have been mimicked by this clever corvid.
 Again heard the Short-toed Treecreeper song and call but unable to identify which of the two Treecreepers it may have been. 
7 Fieldfare over North yesterday.
Pleased to see pair of Tree Sparrows investigating my nest box along with 2 Great tits at the same box at Raspberry plantation.

Hawfinch came down to the apple tree to have a look at the feeding station but was not persuaded. Sparrowhawk becoming a regular visitor at the feeding station for obvious reasons. May explain disappearance of one of the Tree Sparrows ?
Blackbirds still feeding on Ivy berries.
First signs of Spring with hellebore, primrose, speedwell and dandelion in flower.

Liplje - to Ljubinkas and back

Good views of the Treecreeper showing buff lower belly/rump and calling.
Sparrowhawk was a garden tick perching very close to our bird table.
The Tawny was sat on  our electricity pole above the bird table no doubt  attracted by the mice feeding on the grain below it.

The Lightening tree
My lightening tree stricken but not dead
Speaks to me but has no head
holds out its limbs remenants of great boughs
pleads to thunder god Perun
look what have you done
Bed of thorns
Deformed and scarred
My burnt and blackened heart
