Good night folks. Hope this helps you with the week ahead. The rota will just repeat itself, unless one of us is unable to on any given day. #BirdOfTheDay I even put a Kingfisher in for Rob. That’s the gentleman I am. 😂😂

The meal for Charlie Cattle Egret was supposed to be Frogs Legs, but he was that hungry and had no manners so he took the whole Frog down in one go. But Charlie couldn't swallow it unless he looked up and swallow at the same time, and made his in-laws take a dislike to him on his first time seeing them. Captured at WWT Martin Mere.Willy Woodpecker (Great Spotted) was looking up because his friend had told him the sky would be falling down, now that is a very good friend pulling his legs but he didn't realise that and told all his family to hide so they wouldn't get hurt by it. Once nothing happened he realised his friend was having a laugh at his expense, and his family were also laughing at him for falling for it. But now it's supposed to happen at 12pm today so watch out so it doesn't hit you. Captured at Grange Road Bird Hides.Gloria Greenfinch was munching on some seeds while keeping watch for her friends, she was supposed to be going out for a meal with them but they are flying late. What Gloria didn't know was they had all gone out without her because she passed on the information about the falling sky that Charlie had told her about, because Gloria had told her friends about it and they missed an important meeting at work because they stayed at home to hide. Captured at Grange Road Bird Hides.Kenny Kingfisher was looking skywards because he had also heard about the falling sky, although he didn't believe Charlie's friend he still had to make sure so he didn't get hurt. But Kenny wasn't bothered about the sky as he was more interested in catching some fish for his tea with Kelly Kingfisher later in the day, which Kenny said he was really looking forward to because he hasn't had a date in the last 12 months. Captured at WWT Martin Mere.

Morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. Alt #HedgingYourBets, any bird in a hedge or bush. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT From Monday, @atlanticbirding.bsky.social and @helenbennett.bsky.social Will be joining us as cohosts. #birds #ECK #SmallBirdSaturday

A fluffy juvenile European robin stands upright in short green grass, its rounded body covered in mottled brown plumage before the familiar adult red breast develops. The young bird gazes upward with a large, dark eye and a slender pointed bill, while its long pink legs give it an alert, inquisitive stance. Tiny white clover flowers and scattered fallen leaves dot the softly blurred lawn, creating a natural garden setting that highlights the fledgling’s youthful appearance and curious expression.
