@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #SummerVisitors #Wheatear #birds amongst moorland rocky clitter of #DartmoorNationalPark. I was so happy to get these photos yesterday (04.08.2026). #photos #photography #birds #Devon
@helenbennett.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #FabulousWaders Here is a very tame #turnstone that I saw last year (2025). #Devon #birds #ukbirding #photography #photos
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
Welcome @atlanticbirding.bsky.social but shame for making me feel old. My first birds date from (cough) 1986, when I was living in South Africa. In those days I shot Kodak slides, digitalised (badly) decades later. For the #Firsts theme of #BirdoftheDay here's a 40-year-old Scarlet-chested Sunbird!
Hi folks my cohost AB @atlanticbirding.bsky.social has said the #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures. Alt. is my most captured; #Robins I’m going with a #ForJanet #Robin as my first bird shots were taken in 1989. 😅😅 #birds #photography #ECK
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
Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #Firsts, some of your earliest bird captures, so here's a herring gull from a holiday in Cornwall just over 3 years ago, taken on the phone I had then. #birds Just for fun, anyone recognise the town?
@atlanticbirding.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #Firsts I do not think this is literally 'the' first photograph I took of a bird, but it is one of the earliest I can get from my hard drives. Taken in 1.1.2013. #Mute #swan #photography #birds
@robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #Yellow This is a #watercolour that I did from my own reference #photo of a #sun #parakeet about three years ago. I am suffering from artistic block at the moment and cannot even pick up a pencil. #art
#Wild #Painted#Lady #Butterfly seen at the end of #May this year. It must have been a #migrant because I have not seen one since then. #Photo #Photography
@robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #Yellow This #great #tit is about the best quality image I can get of #wild summer #birds at the moment. #Photography #photo #UK #wildlife #DartmoorNationalPark
Love when Rob says: “ The Alt Theme is #Yellow, any bird with Yellow as part of its plumage.” Well any excuse for me to post another Willow Warbler pic. 😁😁 Ps @oldmanrambling.bsky.social can you see the yellow? 😂 #BirdOfTheDay #birds #photography #ECK
This is a #lorikeet, but I do not think it is the 'rainbow' lorikeet because it has a black belted belly and not a blue one. Can anyone enlighten me? #parrot #bird #photography #BirdOfTheDay #YourChoice @alan678.bsky.social
For #InternationalTigerDay I am going to show a watercolour painting of a beloved tiger I used to know. His name is Lucu, and here he is two years old.
#Hummingbird #hawk #moth on #Buddleya. This was taken many weeks ago on the 5th #July. I have/am not very active on here because I am not very well. #photography #UK #wildlife
