Another bird from our pelagic trip... White-chinned Petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis). The white chin is so tiny that you can't see it unless the bird is 2 meters away. 😀 #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #petrels #seabirds

From white-chinned to white-bellied. 😀 This adult White-bellied Sea Eagle (Ichtyophaga leucogaster) was following our boat for a while... no doubt hoping for a handout from all the fish guts we had on board. 😋 #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #eagles #seaeagles #raptors #birdsofprey

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders this weekend have been chasing waders. For most expected species, numbers seem normal; unfortunately, Broad-billed Sandpiper numbers seem much reduced. Could only find an occasional small group rather than the large flocks we are used to.

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Marsh Sandpiper is a regular but numerically scarce winter visitor. Normally found close to fresh or brackish water, this one was found yesterday on the seashore.

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders a surfing Eurasian Oystercatcher

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Good numbers of Eurasian Curlews (orientalis) on the shore today

#Bahrain #Birds Black Redstart is a regular wintering species, but in very small numbers

#Bahrain #Birds Common around the Gulf, but an irregular winter visitor here, a solitary Shelduck was seen at Ras Sanad Mangrove.

#Bahrain #Birds winter must be nearly here with the appearance of the season's first Pallas's Gull

#Bahrain #Birds #Herons Purple Heron of the 160 or so that passed over last month, many more than normal, decided to stop over and enjoy the local cuisine

#Bahrain #Birds this year, we are seeing a marked decline in the number of both Willow Warblers (Pic) and Chiffchaff passing. Other common species, so far so good, with some species like Whitethroat showing well.

#Bahrai #Birds Never numerous, Paliid Harries are a constant throughout the winter

#Bahrain #Birds Our smallest migrant winter visitor is the Asian Desert Warbler Curruca nana.

#Bahrain #Birds The loneliest bird in the Eastern Paleartic (population of one) arrived in the spring of 2024, and amazingly, it is still here. The Black Heron, an African species, is surviving well in the tidal pools at the rear of Sanad Mangrove.

A bit of excitement today in the birding world here in #Toronto. A Razorbill Auk was spotted first thing this morning.This is a rare species in Canada. We have seen them in Northern Ireland, so what a surprise to see one here in #Canada. #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #underrated. We have over two dozen sparrow varieties in California, and they would be my pick: song sparrow, chipping sparrow, lark sparrow, white-throated sparrow. #birds #sparrows

Here's a stunning goldcrest, gleaning through an oak tree at RSPB Broadwater Warren this morning. I watched a mixed flock of goldcrests, marsh tits, and blue tits "popcorning" around this tree for five minutes 😍👑🐦🪶 #birds #birdphotography @rspb.bsky.social

#eagles #juveniles #birds This morning I saw one bald eagle and three juveniles. It's been some day. #watervision

#Bahrain #Birds: Skylarks are a common and numerous winter visitor

#Bahrain #Birds Bluethroat: After a slow start, numbers are now beginning to increase; however, only a few individual birds will remain for the winter.

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Bar-tailed Godwit (yamalensis) a common wintering species as seen yesterday (29/10/25) in full winter plumage

Queensland nature (2/?): Sacred Kingfisher (x3), Torresian Kingfisher #Birds #BirdPhotography

Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) 28 October 2025. Mirada Surf County Park, El Granada, California, USA. A rare vagrant in California. The sharply pointed and attenuated rectrices indicate an immature (formative plumage) and the all dark primary coverts and alula indicate a female. #Birds

#Bahrain #Birds Hypocolius, a special Middle East endemic here as a winter visitor. They started arriving around the 23rd of October this year; so far, we have counted 60+, but expect the number to reach hundreds.

I was lying in the wet sand when this Ring-billed Gull wandered by, perhaps looking for dinner at the beach? #BirdOfTheDay #birding #bird #birds #gulls #canada #wildlife

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Greater Sandplover over 300 at one of many roosts on the shore with early morning high tides this week. Variety is in the eye of the beholder, or needed DNA studies

#Bahrain #Birds Pacific Golden Plover, a regular but scarce, numerically, winter visitor

#Bahrain #Birds Southern Grey Shrike, a residential and partial migrant species.

#Bahrain #Birds the small areas of coastal mangrove around Tubli Bay do provide cover around its pools of open water sanctuary for a variety of ducks. Currently, Shoveller, Garganey and Mallard are the most numerous, with Gadwall, Pintail and Teal starting to arrive.
