Nutcracker
 
A few days in Sweden in February 2009 produced some good views of Nutcrakers.  We visited a feeding station and managed to see a good numbers of these lovely marked birds reasonably close. 
 

 

 
Generally wildlife photographers try to show birds in their natural environment without showing feeders or food in the photo.  However with a name like "Nutcraker" I couldn't resist a photo of one feeding on a Hazelnut.
