#BirdOfTheDay #BestOfJuly #Birds I'm sorry; I cannot whittle my selection down any more, so you'll have to rank these for yourselves. (They're all among my best of July!) Osprey Grey Wagtail Peacock Sand Martin(s) Curlew Young Great Spotted Woodpecker Greedy Magpie Bathing Magpie Sparrowhawk
It's ironic that the final straw that might lead to regime change could turn out to be something as trivial and insignificant as a fake accusation of vandalism against an Olympian, when the crime was committed by those who tried to press charges against him.

#BirdOfTheDay #HedgingYourBets #Birds #BirdPhotography If a fir tree is part of a continuous row of trees, does it qualify as a hedge? 🤔 Goldfinch Great Spotted Woodpecker House Sparrow Blackbird
#BirdOfTheDay #OverTheRainbow #Birds One could argue that this Magpie is actually squinting #UnderTheRainbow - but one eye is (probably) looking upwards!
#BirdOfTheDay #YourChoice #Birds The three most recent shots from my Nikon Z8 My choice to share (as a counterpoint to my earlier #YourChoice choice which was my first-ever "proper" shot) Squabbling Ring-Necked Parakeets
#YourChoice of #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #BirdPhotography One of the very first decent photos of a bird that I took with decent equipment. September 2019
A few #MultiColoured #Birds that aren't Mandarin ducks! For #BirdOfTheDay Blue Tit Great Tit Great Spotted Woodpecker Goldfinch Common Pheasant Green Woodpecker
#BirdOfTheDay #EmeraldBackdrop #Birds Here's a Blackbird, a Rock Dove, a Starling & a Ring-Necked Parakeet. (All with undeniably green backdrops, even if not strictly "Emerald" hue)
#BirdOfTheDay #WeatheringTheElements #Birds A Robin braving the early morning winter frost, and a Blackbird sunbathing (but also panting to try to cool down!) A rain-soaked Rock Dove Ring-Necked Parakeet feeding despite being splashed with raindrops
#Grey #BirdOfTheDay Hot off the press - this handsome little male Sparrowhawk just gate-crashed my bird-feeders a few minutes ago, but (this time) all the small birds escaped.

#BirdOfTheDay #Memories #Birds The 1st Goldcrest I ever photographed Ditto for Black-Tailed Godwit, Avocet, Kingfisher, GCG "weed-dance" & Cetti's Warbler & finally; IMHO two of the best photos I've ever taken; Shoveler & Tufted Duck with almost perfect reflections Happy (personal) #memories
Robins #ForJanet #BirdOfTheDay #Birds (Actually, it's the same #Robin in all the images. Taken today)
#OneTwoThreeFour #BirdOfTheDay #Birds Snowy Egrets in Santa Barbara, California (just in case the intention was to have the same species in all four images!)
#OneTwoThreeFour #BirdOfTheDay #Birds One Magpie Two bickering Starling youngsters Three posing Mandarin ducks Four Lapwing (with Moorhen photobomber)
Updated #LastRoll #LastBird last photo for #BirdOfTheDay European Magpie proving that I need a MUCH bigger bird-bath (& showing off his beautiful iridescence)
