Walking my dog folks. Take care of yourselves. Rob’s alt #BirdOfTheDay #Green #birds #photography #ECK

My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said: “ Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #FoodInBeaks, any bird with food in its beak, the Alt Theme is #Green, any bird with Green in its plumage.” Took this shot on Monday. #birds #photography #ECK

Good morning. Sticking to a high fibre diet in the pouring rain yesterday, a beautiful Shetland Pony. Standing at 34” or 86cm. A few walked over to me. 😍😍 #Ireland #photography #ECK

Good morning folks. Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #FoodInBeaks, any bird with food in it's beak, the Alt Theme is #Green, any bird with Green in it's plumage. #birds #ECK #naturephotography #CanonR5mkii #BBCSpringwatch #photography #ukbirding @rspb.bsky.social #birdphotography #BirdLife #wildlife

Just enough time to get a #TwosDay post done, from some captures taken at WWT Slimbridge last month. They are Shelduck Ducklings, Canada Geese Goslings, Greylag Goslings & Common Crane with Colt. #birds #ECK #photography #CanonR5mkii #birdphotography #BBCSpringwatch #ukbirding #wildlife #BirdLife

Good morning folks. It's @alan678.bsky.social turn to host #BirdOfTheDay and his Theme is #HiddenInPlainSight, birds partially concealed by foliage, the Alt Theme is #DappledLight, a capture with patchy sunlight or shadows. #birds #ECK #CanonR5mkii #ukbirding #BBCSpringwatch #photography #BirdLife

The last one for this day. #PaintByWords #hydrangea #ECK #mobilephonephotography Flowers have the power to make us happy in our sad moments.

Morning all @robcrank68.bsky.social have set the themes for #BirdOfTheDay #FoodInBeaks and #Green so here is a Blue Tit with both and food and a bit green 💚 apologies for reposting 🙏 #ECK #Birds #mobilephonephotography

Good morning all, for the first time we have native poppies in our garden and this is the first one in bloom 😍 #ColorADay #RedWed #ECK #mobilephonephotography #garden #home

I was trying to get a video of the geese honking and the chickens clucking and didn’t notice the cockerel had crept up behind me. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVocal #Farms #Photography

“Honk, honk, honk, honk, honk.” Sunset and the geese are warning me off because one female is sitting on an egg which, according to the farmer, is now unlikely to hatch.😔 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVocal #Sunsets #Farms #Photography

At the risk of repeating myself … here’s another raindrop photo from yesterday’s much needed downpour. #MinimalWednesday #ColorADay #RedWed #Macro #JapaneseMaple #MacroPhotography #MobilePhotography #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #DailyArt #EastCoastKin

Lovely. I watch these birds from my bedroom window each morning. They are so beautiful. Addictive. There is one there right now.

My little garden is looking refreshed after yesterday’s rains and the roses are beginning to show themselves in abundance. #RoseWednesday #Bloomscrolling #FlowersOnWednesday #Gardening #England #Nature #MacroPhotography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Last night’s stars from my window after the lights were turned off in the pub car park. I really should be sleeping at 1am but it is what it is. Good morning Bluesky. Have a great day. #Stars #NightSky #Scape #Summer #NightPhotography #ClassicMono #England #Surrey #EastCoastKin #DailyArt

Imagine how many more stars we could see if we turned off all outdoor lights at night. View from my rear bedroom window in a Surrey village 20 miles from London just before midnight, looking south. The pub car park lights illuminate trees and clouds. The stars blink on. #NightSkyScape #ECK

Thanks for the invite Petie. I’m off to see if I can sleep now, something that’s not coming easy these days. Goodnight.

The starlings on my bird feeder have a way of making themselves known … to the entire street. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVocal #ECK

Just seen that the #TerrierTuesday theme is Great Scapes. Our Patsy the Smooth Fox Terrier (🌈 bridge 2023) had so many outdoor adventures it was hard to pick only one but here it is. My lovely wife and her favourite Dogger. *Info in Alt text. #DogsOfBlueSky #Photography #Fun #Dogs #Pets #Terrier

The first and last of England. Seven Sisters chalk cliffs, facing the Channel and France at Cuckmere Haven in Sussex. An old friend asked for his ashes to be scattered here and we visited often when Janet was alive. #TidesOutTuesday #ArtChallenges #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBluesky #photography

Good day dear Susan, I trust you are suitably refreshed by a night’s kip and raring to go with the jolly old #BlueBrew mechanism. Perhaps you could have a minion deliver a perfect cup to my own rather soggy realm. In return, I offer one of those raindrops on roses that our Julie sang of.

Not sure if this fits Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #HiddenInPlainSight but I photographed this Great Spotted Woodpecker lady on the fat-ball feeder with my camera partly concealed behind the climbing Hydrangea from my bedroom window this morning. She gets twitchy, otherwise. #birds #photography

I was just out seeing if I could get one of them raindrop pix so loved by our Soph @soph0517.bsky.social when who should pop by to say hello but a #WeeBee. Gotta get on with the job after all that rain. 🐝 #Bee #BlurBee #BloomScrolling #Foxgloves #UKGardening #MobilePhotography #EastCoastKin

From last summer, goldfinch and zinnia flowers for #birdoftheDay #foodinbeak #ECK #photography They are back this year, but I haven’t been able to snap a pic

Last Monday I went to check up on Jill and Jack only to find that the nest was deserted and they’d gone. So I missed the cygnets I’d been so looking forward to because of hospital. Aargh! #swanwatch #birds #swans #naturephotography #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK

Morning city scape taken from my hospital window last week. Have a fantastic Wednesday everyone. #scape #sunrise #WindowsOnWednesday #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK

Hello Susan and happy Tuesday to you too. I’d love an iced #BlueBrew today because it’s pretty warm here. As a little thank you a campanula photo I took on my balcony which is packed with flowers so that I have plenty of motifs as long as I can’t be out and about so much.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ I spy a cute little Kei truck with my eye. Have a sensible day my friends ☺️ #ECK #KeiTruck #Photography #WallsOnWednesday #WindowsOnWednesday #Stone #ClassicMono #Automotive #Trucks #PhotographyOfBlueSky #Japanese #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Ireland #Castle #AncientStone #Walls

Good morning JB and that is a beautiful dappled light scene for a Tuesday my friend 🤩💚💛👍🏼 I hope you have a fantastic day 🥰❤️👍🏼

Love going out in morning and seeing how the garden is progressing. #bloomscrolling

Foxgloves are just starting to bloom in our garden. #bloomscrolling #PinkMon #eck #photography

My favourite tree on our little planet and it stands in sight of my bedroom window on a village meadow where it has held court for probably as long as my house has been here … 157 years. Naturally, I photograph it too much. #ThickTrunkTuesday #ClassicMono #ECK #PhotographersOfBlueSky #DailyArt
