Good morning birders and buddies. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Coastal&River any coastal or river birds. Alt: #Rocky any bird capture with a rock in view. Please remember to support each other, it’s a community. 🙏🏼😊 A Dunlin taken two days ago. #birds #photography #ECK

A Dunlin in flight just above a rocky shoreline, wings fully spread and legs tucked beneath its body. Its finely patterned brown and grey plumage is clearly visible, with the bird flying past seaweed-covered rocks and a large rounded boulder, with calm water softly blurred in the background.

This Little Owl was sitting watching the African Painted Dogs being fed in their enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park the other day. #BirdOfTheDay #AwesomeOwls @helenbennett.bsky.social #birds #ECK #BirdPhotography #Photography @whatbirds.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social @bbappnews.bsky.social

Hello 👋 I adore Owls so today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #AwesomeOwls 😊🦉 Any owl from the two owl families. Here's a gorgeous Long-eared owl that I was fortunate enough to see 🤎 📷 🪶 Alt: #BirdNameG any bird whose common name starts with the letter G! Happy Thursday 🕊️ #Nature #Photography #ECK

A photograph showing a long-eared owl that is perched at an angle on a textured tree branch, facing right against a blurred green background. The owl features a prominent facial disc with a white, vertical stripe between its vivid orange eyes, a black beak, and long, dark ear tufts which are flattened against its head. Its plumage is a dense mix of brown, black, grey, and tan feathers, with a warm rufous coloration visible on its chest. The owl's talons are gripped firmly onto the rough bark of the vertical branch, and its lower wings are partially extended downward, showing a barred pattern of tan and dark brown bands. The owl had been hunting in the adjacent fields just before dusk and its feathers underneath are slightly wet.  His gaze is fixed intently in to the distance ready to launch in flight again.

Just seen the following post from @lorichirp.bsky.social: . . . It’s World Photography Day: “The Date: August 19 honors the 1839 announcement of Louis Daguerre's photographic process by the French Academy of Sciences.” ***Post a Favorite Photo*** Here’s one of my personal favourite iPhone photos:

Good morning birders and buddies. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today. #StrikeAPose — Birds caught in a particularly photogenic pose. Alt: #CirclesAndSpheres any bird captured with a circular shape or sphere in background or foreground eg a berry, pebbles, buds, posts. #birds #photography #ECK

A white Little Egret stands on a lush green grassy field, captured with its wings partly spread as if preparing to take flight. Its long, slender black bill points to the right, while its dark legs support its upright stance. Fine, delicate feathers are visible across its body and raised wings, creating a striking contrast against the vibrant green background.

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #50ShadesOfGrey; birds with grey plumage. This Coot with extensive partial leucism looks pretty grey to me: #birds #ECK #BirdPhotography #Photography @rspb.bsky.social @whatbirds.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social @bbappnews.bsky.social

Good Morning & Happy Saturday Everybody! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #50ShadesOfGrey; birds with grey plumage Alt. is #Fledglings; any newly fledged bird - a juvenile Spotted Flycatcher in the forest - a very fluffy looking young BullFinch #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography

A Spotted Flycatcher perched on a branch of a fallen tree in the forest. The bird is in side profile, on the end of a broken branch, to the left of the shot. Its right side is showing to the camera. It has a Grey-brown head, back and wings with streaks on the head and lighter brown on the tips of the secondaries. It has a thin beak, typical of insect eaters, with some bristles at the base. Its underside is whitish with brown streaks on the chest. 
The background is out of focus greens and browns of the forest with some white circles of dappled light.

Good morning birders and buddies. The #BirdOfTheDayTheme #AtOneWithNature Celebrating birds in their natural environment. No manmade objects. #Raptors Any Raptor Won’t be around much for a few days, as I have family staying. 😍😊 Not raiding a feeder! #birds #photography #ECK

A close-up portrait of a European Starling, its glossy black plumage shimmering with iridescent green, blue and purple tones. Fine white speckles cover its breast and body, while the folded wing shows warm buff-edged feathers. The bird’s long, pointed bill extends to the left and its dark, alert eye faces the camera. Soft green foliage creates a smooth, natural background, with a few blurred leaves adding depth.

Good morning. Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NoBranchWood any bird on wood, that is not a branch! 😊 Here we have a seagull with a very important message… #LeaveOnlyFootprints 😍

Good morning. Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme from me is #NoBranchWood any bird on wood, that is not a branch! 😊 Here's a lovely Linnet on a nice wooden fence! 📷 🪶 Alt theme: #BBirdName any bird whose common name starts with the letter B. Happy Wednesday everyone 🕊️ #Birds #Nature #Photography #ECK

A photograph of a male common Linnet that is facing left as viewed and has a grey head, a red patch on its forehead, a reddish-pink breast, a brown back, and dark wings. He stands on top of a horizontal, textured wooden fence plank featuring visible grain patterns and a prominent knot in the centre. The background is blurred, showing a muted, pale blue sky with faint hints of green vegetation on the left.  Taken on a bright early morning. UK
