Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterBirds, any bird that lives in or gets their food from water, the Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue on it. Best of both worlds for today’s theme. Can’t beat a Kingfisher 💙🧡💦 #kentbirding #birdphotography

Back to more new photos from Guyana. We were so lucky to arrive at the Harpy Eagle nesting site—perhaps our top goal of the trip—and catch both adults coming and going while they were working on rebuilding the nest. It was my first time seeing adult Harpies... magnificent!

White hawk hunting in the jungle near Bijagua, Costa Rica #BirdOfTheDay #Black&White #birds

I've seen bee-eaters "tossing" their prey before - but I've never managed to capture it in mid-flight! Same sequence as my previous photo, but now the bird quickly flicks the grass hopper into the air, catches it headfirst and swallowed it - all whilst still flying! #birds #birdphotography

One of the strangest-looking birds we saw in Peru, the Hoitzin, is also one of the most unusual. Like cattle, it's a ruminant, meaning its digestive system ferments plant matter. The Hoatzin is the last surviving member of a bird line that branched off in its own direction 64 million years ago,
