😍 I totally lucked out this morning hanging out with the Plover chicks when, all of a sudden, a Kingfisher perched on one of the nearby rocks. It always pays to be in position before the #birds get there. Right place right time 🍀 #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪 #nature #naturephotography #photography
🤗 For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #FabulousWaders chosen by @helenbennett.bsky.social I cannot help but to go with one of "my" four Little Ringed Plover chicks I've been hanging out with these last few days. Such adorable #shorebirds 🐥😍 #birds #photography #eck #waders #nature #naturephotography
Oh my, the kids grow fast... been gone for 10 days, and the Plover chicks have turned into teenagers 😮 But so glad to see all four are alive and well 😍 #birds #birding #waders #shorebirds #nature #photography #naturephotography #seabirds #stunday #superseabirdsunday #artshare #teenager #eck

I find it difficult to put into words what it is that's so fascinating about #birdwatching & #birdphotography. Luckily, pictures say more than a thousand words... So here's one - of a juvenile Little Ringed Plover I took yesterday. It was real close. #birds #nature #photography #naturephotography

Little birdie, why do you have such big feet? Isn't it obvious? So that I can BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE 😍😍😍 #birds #nature #wildlife #cuteness #cute #photographyisart #photography #birdphotography #birdstories #fairytale
So I went back to hang out with the Plover chicks... 😍 Am I to blame...? 😇 🧐 If you zoom in closely, you'll see what the little one's focused on: an unfortunate little bug that ended up as its snack... 🦟 Advance for #WaderWednesday #cute #birds #nature #photography #naturephotography
What?! You never seen a bird do yoga...? 🐦🤸 Fluffy fuzzball on one leg 😍 Taken today for #BirdOfTheDay: #SummerLovin ☀️⛱️ #birds #photography #ECK #nature #naturephotography #artchallenge #yoga #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife
Whoever said July's typically a slow month for #birding didn't reckon with the Plover chicks that just hatched in my local patch. Expect another picture or two of these cute little fellas in the coming days... 😍 #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #SuperSeabirdSunday #waders #shorebirds #cuteness

Couldn't believe my luck this morning when I ran into a family of Little Ringed Plovers: here's one of the kids ⬇️🐥😍 They're #Migratory #birds & this one's a #ScreenFiller; excellent for #BirdOfTheDay. Plus they're tiny & a perfect #SmallBirdSaturday fit. 🙌 #photography #naturephotography #nature

Happy #TwosDay from these #two Great Crested Grebes I saw this morning 💕 Do you have images of two #birds or 2️⃣ of anything else you'd like to share? #photography #artchallenge #photographyisart #naturephotography #twofer #doublebill #Tuesday #grebe #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #pair
#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #UpAndDown: #birds looking up or down - how fortunate that I got to hang out with a bunch of young Kestrels earlier today, this one looking #down ⬇️ #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪 #Raptors #raptor #nature #photography #naturephotography #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography
Late for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay prompt #Orange because I spent some time with the Bee-eaters ⬇️ today. And they do have orange in their plumage, along with most any other color it seems 😍🌈 #birds #eck #naturephotography #photography #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlife #colours #colorful
I went to see some European Bee-eaters today 😍 #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪 #birds #nature #naturephotography
#BirdOfTheDay alt today is #Swans How fitting that I just got to spend some time with this baby #swan (aka "cygnet") 🦢 Look at these itty bitty tiny wings 🐥 #birds #ducks #water #white #eck #photography #nature #birdphotography #wildlife #naturephotography
#Rotund is today's #BirdOfTheDay theme says Rob: #birds looking rather plump. How'bout this Common Kingfisher striking a classic #borb pose? 💙🤍🧡 #photography #artchallenge #artshare #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #birdphotography #birdlovers #eastcoastkin #eck

For @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Raptors, here's a Yellow-billed Kite in hot pursuit of an Osprey, the latter with fish in talons. Classic action shot. 📸 #birds #natue #eck #botd #birdwatching #naturephotography #raptor #birdofprey #osprey #kite
Did u know #Crows are #Songbirds? They are! With today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #Passerine, it's their moment to shine ✨😍 Here's a Pied Crow bullying an Osprey (same poor bird. as in the earlier shot being harassed by a Kite...). Since Ospreys are #Raptors, it's a #BOTD double bill. #birds #eck
The early bird catches the worm 🪱🐦 Like this Little Ringed Plover I saw yesterday, my choice for the #YourChoice theme of today's #BirdOfTheDay 😀 You may need to zoom in to actually see the worm, it's so tiny 🔬🧐 #eck #birds #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #artshare #birding
