The flock size tends to increase through the winter, reaching a peak in about February (but I'll monitor it more closely over the next winter season.
Yesterday I was up in Kühtai again for a day of glorious powder skiing and picked up the first small flocks of the season in town (as opposed to the single individuals I have been seeing in the high mountains up until now).
It is wonderful to have them back, and I look forward to take looooots of photos of them over the next few months.

Happy birding,

Hi Dale,
I hope you will get looooots of pictures of them, then we would be able to admire them ;-)
I'll trade you: you send me an Eider and I'll send you a flock of snowfinches!
dude, I don't want your Bangalori flowers! I am sure they are pretty, I just don't want them.
Love Snowfinches - they were a bit of a 'bogey' bird of mine for a while.
Fraser, you come to Tirol and I will work my hardest to find them for you! Easy in Winter, hard work in spring and summer. Autumn either super hard or fairly easy - more a luck thing.
