Per Alan H: 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 Juvenile Bald Eagle

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.

I’m going to give Helen a hand for 30 minutes before I go. Then again when I’m back this evening. What a great job AB and Helen are doing btw. For the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #Speckled I have to go with my garden’s baby Song thrush. #birds #photography #ECK

Close-up portrait of a juvenile Song Thrush perched on a slender branch among green foliage. The bird faces left, showing a warm brown back, creamy underparts marked with bold, dark teardrop-shaped spots, and a large, glossy dark eye. Fine feather detail is sharply captured, while the background is softly blurred in shades of green, helping the thrush stand out. A delicate reddish stem appears just in front of the bird’s bill, adding a subtle splash of colour to the natural woodland scene. Sunlight illuminates the bird’s plumage, highlighting the intricate patterning on its breast and the rich golden-brown tones of its feathers.

Thank you Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social for the #BirdOfTheDay theme #BestOfJuly The best of the month July were here the Oriols. #lowcarbonbirding #birds #birdphotography #BirdLife #ECK #Nikonphotography #Vögel

Two female orioles fly away from the branches of a leafless tree. In the background is a bright blue sky; the birds' wings are spread wide, and you can make out individual feathers.

A male oriole is perched on a leaf of an Ohse tree. The photo was taken from behind. You can see that its wings and tail are black with light-colored tips. Its head and body are bright yellow. The bird has a black eye stripe and is looking to the left.

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

A European robin stands upright on a weathered stone covered with patches of moss, facing slightly to the left. Its vivid orange-red face and breast contrast beautifully with its soft grey-brown back and pale grey-white belly. The robin’s glossy dark eye catches the light, giving it an alert, inquisitive expression, while its slender black bill is closed. The background is a smooth wash of muted green tones, creating a clean, uncluttered backdrop that makes the bird’s colourful plumage stand out in sharp detail.

Atlantic Birding @atlanticbirding.bsky.social · 3d ago

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.

A European Robin perched on a thin Sycamore branch. The bird is right of frame, the underside of its tail and body are fully visible, as is its chest. Its head is turned to the left so that the left side of its head can be seen.
It is perched on a small sycamore branch which runs vertically along the right of the picture. A second, larger branch runs from the bottom, slightly left of the centre, to the top right hand corner.
The background is out of focus branches lit brightly by sunlight

Per Rob Crank: Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestOfJuly so no need for an Alt Theme today. #birds #ECK #photography Maybe not technically the "best" but I liked this Belted Kingfisher scratching with her nictitating eye membrane being used!

Alan H @alan678.bsky.social · 3d ago

One of my many cohosts Rob 😂 @robcrank68.bsky.social has said that: “ Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestOfJuly so no need for an Alt Theme. “ I’m going with this young Stonechat as I loved how the colours of the bird blended with everything. #birds #photography #ECK

A small female Stonechat perches on a rusty wire fence in warm golden sunlight. Her finely mottled brown plumage, pale buff breast, and dark eye are sharply in focus, while a softly blurred green background creates a smooth, natural backdrop. A single out-of-focus seed head rises behind her, adding depth without distracting from the bird. She faces to the right in a relaxed, alert pose, with both feet gripping the weathered wire. The shallow depth of field isolates the Stonechat, highlighting the intricate feather detail and warm earthy tones.

Good morning. If you put nothing else on your bucket list this week. You must walk this path, see this view and listen as the waves gently roll in. For a small fee, a guide can be hired. 🍺 This is my #Ireland. #photography #Stunday #ECK

Golden light floods the Atlantic Ocean as the sun sets beyond the horizon, illuminating dramatic layers of orange, gold, and charcoal clouds. Mussenden Temple stands silhouetted on the grassy cliff top to the left, overlooking the rugged basalt coastline of Downhill Demesne. Below, a tunnel entrance and rocky shoreline frame the base of the cliffs, while the calm sea reflects the warm glow of the setting sun. On the distant horizon, the hills of County Donegal form a soft, dark outline beneath the glowing sky, adding depth to this striking coastal landscape in Northern Ireland.
