I love birds, music, nature, art. My favorite bands are: Bay City Rollers, Monkees, Enrique Iglesias, ABBA, Fun.
BirdOfTheDay theme should be: #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures. This is a young woodpecker in the garden, 2008.

This late summer bloomer is a Japanese anemone aka Windflower. The name is a misnomer since they originated in China, where they were long cultivated in temple gardens before being brought to Japan and Europe in the 1800s #MacroMonday #PinkMon #Flower #Gardens #Nature #Gardening #EnglishGarden

#Birds Atlantic Birding @atlanticbirding.bsky.social on their first day, has chosen the #BirdOfTheDay theme as #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures. Taken with a little Sony Cybershot in 2016, the year I started to take pics of birds instead of only watching them. An agreeable Nuthatch.

A big part of the late summer soundtrack around here is the American Goldfinch. They have an amazing repertoire of sounds #birds 🌿
That bright red cap gives it away this is a Red-bellied Woodpecker! ❤️Despite the name, the belly's pale, but that head is unmistakable. Spotted one clinging to the tree. 🐦❤️ #birdwatching #birdphotography #birds #Photography #Photographer

Atlantic puffins typically live between 20 and 30 years in the wild. They are monogamous and mate for life, returning to the exact same burrows and partners each year. They perform a tender billing ritual by topping and rubbing their beaks together, reinforcing their bond

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfJuly. Well this image was made in August. So I'm kinda cheating a little. I don't think this black-bellied whistling duck would mind. It looks so calm and nice and full of gratitude. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #ducks #conservation
The feather markings on the Common Loon are incredible TT: @harrycollinsphotography
