#SingersandWingers #birds with wings open. @alan678.bsky.social Im a bit late having been a mad english(wo)man out in the midday sun, but my entry today is this young Blue Tit trying 'em out for size #photo #birdphotography #mygardenwatch

#ButterflyWeek #butterflies #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photo #photography #photographersofBlueSky As the temp dipped below 30 today 🙄 I thought I'd risk a butterfly survey 🥵 Did see lots of beauties tho + it was the turn of the wee ones - lots of Brown Argus, Blues + Wood Whites 🦋🪰

I guess this owl was stretching a wing out? I'm not sure but it looked pretty cool! 😀 #BirdOfTheDay #SingersAndWingers #Photography #Birds #Owls

Good morning, the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SingersAndWingers Songbirds or birds with one or both wings open. Alt #RSVP birds that have any of these letters at the beginning of any part of their name. Juvenile Song Thrush in my garden. #birds #photography #ECK

I want to know now why I didn’t know about #ButterflyWeek 😠😂 Have to walk Sam but I’ll be back later to help Rob and do some reposts. Here’s a High Brown Fritillary. A very rare Butterfly here. #Butterfly #NatureLovers #Macro #photography #ECK #Alanhasnomoretags

Good morning birders. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #PerfectPoise Photographs where balance and posture tell a story. Alt #MomentsOfMajesty Elegant, regal or commanding poses. Juvenile Willow Warbler stretching upside down looking for bugs. Taken yesterday. #birds #photography #ECK

Good afternoon birders and besties. Going to repost some BOTD entries after I climb a mountain of comments. In the name of all that’s holy don’t comment on this. Obviously the usual suspects will. 😅😅 Saw this beauty today. #MacroMonday #photography #BloomScrolling #Butterfly #ECK

Spotted a couple of Reed Buntings in fields along the coast path yesterday. This male was in particularly fine voice. #birdingScotland #UKWildlife #birdOfTheDay #birdsSeenIn2026 #birds #openBeaks

I have been trying to capture a bird sat on the very top of a sunflower in my garden. Any bird would do. Today, a sparrow came close. Have a good evening all, time to sign off. 🥵 #sparrow #Sunflower #UKWildlife #Nature #photography

Good morning #BirdOfTheDay comunity! 👋🏻 Rob's theme: #ButShotts, alt. #OpenBeaks. Lady Blackbird. 😃🖤🐦‍⬛ #Blackbird #Amsel #bird #Vogel #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #TurdusMerula #photography #ECK #Birding #BirdWatching #BirdsOfEurope

Good morning birdies. Rob said: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ButtShotts, any bird that is showing off it's rear, the Alt theme is #OpenBeaks, birds with their beaks open. Guys we can have tasteful butt shots too, doesn’t have to be straight up the derrière. 😂🤣 #birds #photography #ECK

Per @robcrank68.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ButtShotts & the Alt theme is #OpenBeaks. Going for a two-fer, or maybe a qualified trifecta: derrières of a ruby-throated #hummingbird and a #bumblebee, plus note the hummingbird’s beak is open. #photography #birds #bees #BirdPhotography

🪶 Rob has chosen #ButtShotts as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. But I’m going with the alternative of #BeakOpen today with this shot of a Goldcrest in song. #birds #birdsofbluesky #birdphotography #ECK #irishbirding #naturephotography

Stay close to me brother. #Hiking #Photography #BloomScrolling #Daisy #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

#BirdoftheDay #birds #bestsideeye #ECK #photo this was picked up on our wildlife camera in the garden. The pheasant was obsessed with the camera for some reason. I had about a dozen pics of it peering into the lens. Made me chuckle

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay themes are: Main: #AmongTheRipples birds on water. Alt: #BestSideEye birds appearing to be casting a sceptical or unimpressed glance. Two days ago this young Eider duckling was diving for seaweed in the harbour. #birds #Stunday #photography #ECK

A moment after stepping off the island, a great blue heron pauses in the river. Sunrise has turned the world tones of warm hues reflecting off the morning mist. For the theme of #quiet #birds #heron #greatblueheron #sunrise #EastCoastKin

#Stunday #ECK #ColorADay #OrangeSun #flowers #bloomscrolling #dailyflowers #gardens Adore this echinacea flowering in the garden at the moment. Stunning flower!!!

No sooner had I posted Corky the Coot #amongtheripples for #BirdoftheDay by @alan678.bsky.social than up popped Harry the Heron. "Oy, what about me," he said. They get so jealous, these herons. So here's a rare doubling up on BOTD from me. Happy now, Harry? #photography #birds

#BirdoftheDay #birds #AmongtheRipples @alan678.bsky.social #ECK #photo #photography #StunDay #wildlife Enjoyed watching this cygnet mimicking its elder in the River Wye yesterday

For the alt #BirdOfTheDay #BestSideEye. This was a very small young Meadow Pipit up on the mountain three days ago. Too young to have fear. Only a few centimetres tall. #birds #photography #Stunday #ECK

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #UpAndDown: birds looking up or down. I've gone for the double whammy: a male #TreeSwallow looking up at a female Tree Swallow looking down at him because HE IS IN HER SPOT. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #NaturePhotography
