My best-ever shot of my #NemesisBird, a female belted kingfisher, from last week. Still farther away that I'd like, pushing the limits of my camera, but it came out pretty well. #BirdOfTheDay #mostrecent #birds

Here's a Christmas-day red kite, near Christmas Common, in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire 🦅🎄😍🪶. It was astonishingly cold up there today, my fingers kept freezing up. #birds #birdphotography

Holiday greetings to all! May the light touch your life over the next year. #BirdOfTheDay #HolidayRobin #birds

😧 I'm late for #BirdOfTheDay. What's the theme you ask? Well, Rob says it's #LongLegsAndNeck - any #birds with both items listed How'bout a Grey Crowned Crane? This elegant bird graced my hood for a few days a couple of years ago, surely an escape but w/o a ring 🤷 #EastCoastKin #nature #photography

With this beautiful Gouldian finch 🌈 🖤 I bid you farewell and head into my weekend. This will also be the last picture from the butterfly garden in Sayn. Have a good rest and relax 🍷🖖 sayn.de #Gouldamadine #finch #rainbow #Nikon #Fotografie 📷 🌿 🐦 #photography #wildlife #birds
