It took us a moment to realize that what we heard wasn't an extremely excited robin, but this Eurasian blackcap. Save for its black cap, it is indeed #Grey, as required for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. #naturephotography #birding #Nikon
#TantalisingTextures provided by these three Western house martins on a chalk cliff. #birdoftheday #birding #Nikon
According to Wikipedia, the Eurasian magpie belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. So my #birdoftheday is a #monochrome magpie. It looks disheveled because it got into an altercation with the resident murder of carrion crows. #corvids
Today's #birdoftheday alt theme is #finches. Surely that includes the golden kind, seen feasting on evening primrose seeds here.
"Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Touchdown, birds at the moment of landing whether on water, land or branches." Technically,this is not touchdown but final approach, but I think it meets the spirit of the theme.
@alan678.bsky.social has chosen #Raptors for today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme. Common kestrel. Halsnæs, DK. #birds #birding #naturephotography
Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme is #Gulls, any Gull will do. This gull flew by me, AF-C did its thing brilliantly, and I noticed only later upon cropping the image that I had shot the bird's head at the perfect angle to catch daylight through its nostrils. #photographygoals #birds #Nikon
Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black, birds with mainly black plumage. Another crow -- sorry, @hlkfotos.com! #birds #birding #naturephotography #Nikon #corvids #ThursJay
@robcrank68.bsky.social' #birdoftheday theme is #LongLegs. Here is a redshank. Mosfellsbær, IS. #birds #birding #naturephotography #Nikon
@alan678.bsky.social has named #Swans as the #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme. Swans have an iconic silhouette that can drag photographers into clichés. This one turned away from me to leave the water, optically compressing its own shape into a more modest and vulnerable version of itself. Arcen, NL
@robcrank68.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme is #Black&White, birds with Black & White in their plumage. Here's a black & white Eurasian coot, shot in black & white. Roskilde, DK. #blackandwhitephotography #tmy #NikonF4s
Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme is #Paridae. There always plenty of those around here. #birds #birding #naturephotography #Nikon
Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #Geese. One of the first trips I made with my Nikon F4s, more years ago than I care to count, was to Stanley Park, Vancouver, where these geese crossed the sky. #birding #birds #naturephotography #analogphotography #Nikon #Fujichrome
Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme is #Robins. This one was helping with gardening. #ForJanet #birding #birds #naturephotography #Nikon
Some #lawnflowers for #wildflowerhour: fox-and-cubs magically reappeared after several years' absence.
A buzzard under the Moon, #BranchingOut on a dead tree branch. #birdoftheday #birds #birding #naturephotography
What's that you said, @robcrank68.bsky.social, we are only the *Alt* theme for #birdoftheday today? #gulls #birding #birds
An older picture from a brief stop along I-5, heading South. California gull expecting not to be fed. #BorrowedPlaces #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birding
