Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme: #RedOrDead - alt. #SummerVisitors A barn Swallow on a late afternoon. #swallow #Schwalbe #birds #photography #nature #wildlife #Vogel #ECK #HirundoRustica #Rauchschwalbe

In Österreich leben schätzungsweise 60.000 bis 90.000 Brutpaare der Rauchschwalbe (Hirundo rustica). Die Zugvögel sind von April bis September im Land. Sie sind in allen Bundesländern in ländlichen Regionen weit verbreitet, wo sie als Kulturfolger vor allem in Ställen und Scheunen nisten.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Alt #SummerVisitors Migratory birds associated with summer or your favourite bird to capture in summer. #birds #photography #ECK

A Meadow Pipit perches sideways on the curved seed head of a dark purple grass, its finely streaked brown upperparts and cream underparts sharply in focus against a smooth green background. The bird grips a large reddish earthworm in its slender bill, likely carrying food back to a nest or recently fledged young. Its alert dark eye and slightly raised crown feathers give it an attentive expression, while the soft, blurred backdrop draws full attention to the delicate plumage and the vivid contrast of the red worm against the bird’s pale face.

Good morning all. For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme I've chosen #FabulousWaders Any wading bird that you love! For me it's the Avocet, a calm and graceful beauty wading along the shoreline! 🤍🪶 The Alt. theme is #Speckled any bird with speckled patterns on its plumage. 📷 #birds #photography #ECK

A close up photograph showing the head and upper body of an Avocet wading bird.  It is seen in side profile appearing from the left as viewed with a predominantly white body, black feather patches on its wings, back of its neck and the top of the Avocets head.  It has a thin black bill that curves sharply upward towards the end. It is leaning slightly forward looking down having lifted its head from hunting for food along the mudflats at low tide.  Taken on a sunny bright early morning, the background is a dark golden brown in colour from the muddy water and reflecting sunlight giving it a slight shimmer.  Seen on the North East coast, UK

Good morning and welcome @atlanticbirding.bsky.social! 👋🏼🎉🍷🍾🥳 #BirdOfTheDay premiere theme is: #First, alt #Robins. The oldest capture I found is this blue-bellied roller from the early 1990s. #ZooPhotography #Opalracke #birds #vogel #CoraciasCyanogaster #photography #ECK #BlueBelliedRoller

Good morning All. I thought that as today is my first day, the #BirdOfTheDay theme should be: #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures. Alt. is my most captured; #Robins - Male Reed Bunting, shot in my 1st fortnight of having a camera - The ubiquitous European Robin #birds #photography #ECK

A Male Reed Warbler on a thin plant stalk. The bird is left of centre of the shot perched near the top of tall, dried out plant stalk that is bent over at a 45 degree angle with the weight of the bird. It is turned slightly to look right so that its front, belly and right side can be seen. 
Another plant stalk is vertical beside the bird. 
The background is an out focus blue sky with two thin, vertical tree branches sparsely covered in green leaves.
