Finally managed to get an adult male Golden Oriole (Oriolus oriolus) out in the open long enough to grab a pic. Such a spectacular bird. You can see why it likes to stay under cover. That retina-blasting yellow is a visual magnet for predators. #BirdingHungary #orioles #BirdsSeenIn2026

A well-camouflaged European Nightjar taking a nap. Such fascinating birds. 🪶 #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇫🇮 #NaturePhotography

A Trush Nightingale, they don't usually sing this openly, and you don't often get such a good look at them. 🪶🐦‍⬛ #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇫🇮 #NaturePhotography

Red-necked Grebes are fine representatives of the often obscure grebe-kind. They are vocal, colourful and have dazzling behaviours. #AB #birds

Mrs Cuckoo. 🪶

Nice ♂️ Red-backed Shrike (Lanius collurio). The common summer shrike in Hungary. By late summer when the young have left the nest, these are everywhere on the puszta. #BirdingHungary #shrikes #BirdsSeenIn2026

A male Red-breasted Flycatcher. Easy to identify from its upbeat song but pretty hard to photograph in the shady woodlands. #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇫🇮🪶🐦 #NaturePhotography

Greenish Warbler must be one of the blandest bird names, c'mon. In Finnish it's literally Eastern ovenbird which at least tells they are migrating from the SE, mostly wintering in India. 🐦🪶 #BirdsSeenIn2026 #NaturePhotography

The first summer male Kentish Plover still present at Marazion beach today (19th May) for the fourth day. It arrived with c. 300 Sanderlings and other small waders. It’s the 75th record for Cornwall and the second for this site this Spring. #cornwallbirding #ukbirding

So happy to have this guy back in my garden. A smashing Redstart male, who seems to have attracted a female, too. 🪶🇫🇮 #BirdsSeenIn2026 #NaturePhotography

A singing Savi's Warbler in early morning backlight was my weekend's highlight. A very rare bird in my area. 🔊 to listen to one of the strangest songbird sounds in Europe. 2026-05-09, Rhineland-Palatinate, 🇩🇪 #birding #birdwatching #birdvideo #warbler #birds #birdsong #BirdsSeenIn2026

Swimming into the weekend like... If you zoom in on the loon's eye, you can sort of see the sunset. I think that's pretty cool.

Look what I found today!!😊 A Morel mushroom! 🍄‍🟫 It’s my first find of this elusive wild mushroom. Have a great day and watch where you step! 🌞 Happy #FungiFriday #FungiFriends! #EastCoastKin #mushrooms
