@alan678.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NegativeSpace, where the subject occupies only a small portion of the frame, with empty or simple surroundings playing an important role in the composition. I hope this shot of an approaching Royal Tern qualifies. #birds

Österreich hat ein Problem mit illegaler Wildtierkriminalität. Immer wieder werden streng geschützte Greifvögel getötet – mit teils drastischen Auswirkungen auf den Bestand. Das Ausmaß der Problematik verdeutlicht unser aktueller Bericht. Ein kurzer Thread! 🧵(1/6)

Russia continues deliberately weaponizing food. It consciously launches attacks on international relief organizations trying to help people whose lives Russia makes hell. Just days after the Russian strike on the warehouse of UNCHR in Dnipro,

Female Bird Day was this past weekend but I missed it femalebirdday.wordpress.com I do have a print of female birds that's sure to educate and baffle topatoco.com/products/rom...

A weekend with a lot of news from horrible leaders in different countries, so its time for some cat content #Caturday and yes, its really hot here

Die Ukraine hat einen der massivsten russischen Luftangriffe durchlebt. Hunderte Drohnen, Dutzende Raketen, Tote, Verletzte, heftige Zerstörung. Druckwellen haben auch das ARD-Studio Kyjiw erreicht. Unser Team ist zum Glück unverletzt. Die Statik des Gebäudes muss geprüft werden.

Mauersegler sind häufig Opfer von Gebäudesanierungen. Die Altvögel versuchen bis zur Erschöpfung die Brutplätze zu erreichen. Gelingt das nicht, weil Gerüste + Netze stören, stürzen die Vögel ab. 12 Segler haben wir dieses Jahr bereits aus diesem Grund aufgenommen. www.instagram.com/p/DYcpAj8AlT...

I saw my first daylight barn owl yesterday. What a stunning bird! 🪶

Best blue heron portrait ever! 👏

Ever since wildlife photography took over my life, I've done very little in the way of basic vacations and cultural tourism. But we're taking our son to Europe soon, so I thought I'd dig up some old photos from my early days. Here's the bath at the Alzázar in Sevilla (shot on film).

Wonderfull picture! 😍

African Bateleur Eagle is performing a natural bird behaviour called a Rouse. It’s for relaxation and preening. It also allows to release, trapped body heat in the hot sun.

Anyone else need an adorably sleepy baby great horned owl to get them through the week? #bird #birds #owls #mcoupephotography #wildlife #greathornedowl

My best Pallid Swift photo to date taken near Pinoso Spain. Thank you very much to all those who gave me advice on techniques to take flying birds. Still not perfect but the best so far. Will keep practicing. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #birding #naturephotography

#LinedUp is today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. Three or more birds in a line. Alt. Is #Laridae; Gulls & Terns. This photo should tick both boxes. A crowd of crested terns and common (brown) noddys at Michaelmas Cay, Great Barrier Reef. #australiabirds #seabirds

By far the youngest baby burrowing owl I have seen this year. So cute! 🪶

Sometimes he seems to seek psychic guidance in his grooming operation. You think that after 15 minutes of dedicated licking, he is perfectly groomed. But then he pauses, gazes off into space&waits for a message. From somewhere, he gets the word, "Left shoulderblade".~GRaftery

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LockedOn any bird with an intense gaze. The alt is #Breezy birds in windy conditions. Why so grumpy? Have a lovely Monday 😊🫶 📷 A young long-tailed tit #birds #birding #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Germany #MacroMonday #wildlife #photography #nature #thelittlethings #ECK

Here’s a small teaser: a needlefelted barn owl with open wings WIP. It’s meant to hang above a bed and ward off bad dreams. Hoping to finish it shortly.. It's about 1/5 of a real size, but I'm happy with it so far. #needlefelting #art #sculpture #owl #bird #birds #birdart #wip #handmade

Burrowing owls typically have bright, intense yellow irises, which are a characteristic feature for these diurnal (day-active) hunters. While yellow is the standard, some individuals, may exhibit mottled, dark brown, or olive-green speckled irises, often from recessive genes. 🪶🦉

I feel it’s their intent to make everyone look like a criminal in their passport photo. Baltimore oriole, for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of “passport photos.”

Von Obst können wir noch einiges lernen. Obst hat einfach die Erdbeere aufgenommen, obwohl diese eigentlich eine Nuss ist. Obst rennt nicht durch die Gegend und ruft" Erdbeeren raus" oder "Erdbeeren sind illegal im Obstregal". Sei einfach mehr wie Obst. (Netzfund)

The bullfinch is a distinctive bird thanks to the males' deep red breast. As spring days lengthen, bullfinches sing more frequently. Their soft but melodic song carries through the forest, marking the boundaries of their territories and attracting females.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #CamoOrContrast, birds that blend in or stand out in their surroundings. The alt theme is #monochrome, b&w shots of any bird. Good luck. I’m going with European Golden Plovers contrasting with the rocky shore, taken yesterday. #birds #photography #ECK
