New year - new visitors ?

What will bring 2015 to me ? Hopefully a lot of new species at the hide. But which hide ? Probably in a few months I will have to remove the hide from the forest because the area is being developped. Mayby I'll find a new spot in the same area, that's not sure yet. We'll see ... .
Now what's happening lately at the hide ? A short update. Both Northern Goshawk (Havik) and Common Buzzard (Buizerd) are regular visitors now, mainly visiting later on the day when it's getting dark. The Goshawk is staying short periods while eating, the Buzzard is eating most of the prey. Redwing (Koperwiek) is also coming over to drink every now and then, and for the first time a Bank vole (Rosse woelmuis) was seen, eating from the birdfood. The rest of the visitors are the 'normal species'.
