This is a Blåmes or Parus caeruleus a very common bird here. It is mainly found in deciduous forests and in gardens. They are easily recognised by thier blue scalp (which unfortunately I didn't manage to capture with my camera (I didn't want to scare him or her off) ) and the markings around the eyes. Appart from this they look very similar to Talgoxen.They stay in Sweden year round (as you can see we have A LOT of snow).
They eat a variety of foods both insects and seeds. They are very fond of the type of seed and tallow balls that I have as my birdfeeder.
I was really impressed by how many pictures of this bird I managed to get. Most of them have gotten away from me before I have managed to take their picture but this one stuck around for quite some time.

I guess your little guest was too hungry to fly away, despite the camera.
It's beautiful where you live, although I think I would get tired of the snow after a while.
I hope you're doing well. :)
Oh I am so sick and tired of the snow you wouldn't believe it. And we got more during the week.
I'm good. Really busy though. Hope all is well with you.
