Thema des #BirdOfTheDay kommt heute von @alan678.bsky.social. Es geht um lecker Mittagessen #lunchtime. Der Buchfink hat sich ein Kernchen geschnappt, und der Mäusebussard speist Regenwurm aus der Wiese.

Hab ich gefunden, nehm ich mit. Weißte bescheid. #squirrel

Beautiful sunset

Hypogymnia wilfiana is probably my current lichen favourite. I like the little floral lobes with apothecia. Not too uncommon in the more mature forests nearby. Near 100 Mile House, BC 🪶🌿

The Age of Mushroom Enlightenment continues: DNA analysis confirms that the Hexagonal-pored Polypore (Neofavolus americanus) found in North America is a distinct species from the European one (Neofavolus alveolaris). #Fungi #Nature #Photography #FungiFriends 🍄📷

A huge bee finding food in the heathers. A wonderful plant to keep the pollinators happy in the cooler months. #InsectThursday.

#InsectThursday As other flowers fade, garden mums provide a crucial late-season lifeline for pollinators and insects.🐝🪰 Enjoy your day.🍁 #MyGarden #bees #bumblebee #savethebees #pollinators #chrysanthemums #gardening #gardenshour #autumn #flowersofautumn #flyday #bloomscrolling

This was my last Swallowtail photo of the year. Female Black Swallowtail on October 16th. I just hadn’t gotten around to posting. Appropriate posting for #InsectThursday #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

#InsectThursday with my first and last? #butterflies of 2025. A comma on 6th March and a red admiral on 2nd November. A tiny chance of seeing more but we need brighter days ! @savebutterflies.bsky.social #vitaminN

Good Morning... I keep digging my archives for #BirdOfTheDay These Downy Woodpeckers at my home are enjoying #LunchTime #EastCoastKin #Photography #OMSystem #Birds #WoodPecker

So Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has decided today’s #BirdOfTheDay is all about #CloseUps of any bird, and the Alternative Birds are Blue Tits or Great Tits. Great theme. I’m sticking with the Jay from yesterday. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #lunchtime, birds with food in their mouths. The alternative is #fluffy, birds with feathers fluffed up. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin A male Common Merganser
