Good Night all :) Logging off with another one for todays #BirdOfTheDay 🙏 A very happy Jabiru with his #lunchtime from #Brazil Jabiru mycteria Least concern #birds

One of Europe's smallest. The teeny-tiny-pop-of-a-bird. The Common Firecrest. 9 cms long 4–7 grams in weight. Unstoppable in speed. Singing and flashing colour & Me swinging around like crazy trying to get some decent photographs! #Austria #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2025

Saying a special hello to @robcrank68.bsky.social for his early morning thumbs-up on today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #lunchtime 🙏 A normally ultra-shy female Masked Trogan came to feed and gave us quite a show. Such that even local bird experts were clicking away! #Colombia #birds #BirdsSeenin2025

A pair of blackbirds started a family in a next on a tree on our balcony. It was a joy seeing them up so close. #BirdoftheDay #closeups #EastCoastKin #bird #birds #Blackbird #photography

A whole year has passed and as I sit staring at the full moon outside my window, a photograph and a poem I wrote (in alt text) from last year. Hope you like it :) #poetry #FullMoon #time

#BirdoftheDay a pair of Black Kites over a bare #rock of a mountain of the Altai ranges in #Mongolia. We were there for the sunrise (it was stunning) these birds were the happy bonus. Also very happy to know the meaning behind #EastCoastKin A delightful idea! #birdphotography #lovingBlueSky 😊

A tale of when summer and winter collided in the garden. Summer #flowers still blooming with abundance, had an encounter with #frost. The magic of #seasons, #nature, #colour and #light played out. Then was over in just a few moments. #changingseason #autumn #sunrise #inmygarden

Revived healthy because of strong interbreeding?!? That's contrary to all we teach and learn. dailygalaxy.com/2025/11/they... #foodforthough #wildlifeprotection #thosecats

When it's pigeons, Take 2. Yes I love jazz😊 The Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon from #India and the Speckled pigeon from #Kenya. #BirdOfTheDay #Pigeons #birds #BirdsILove

From a walk in the park. It was just after sunrise. Autumn has arrived. Winter is following close behind. #leoben #austria #UrbanNature #autumn

‪Nothing so great here as regards photography, but this European Goldfinch family were at our feeder all the time one early summer. The parents even leaving their baby in our care all day, collecting it only in the evenings. #BirdOfTheDay #Finches and as alternate grebes #birds #austria

The Common Chiffchaff is a tiny songbird. Difficult to see let alone photograph as it moves swiftly through the leaves. This little one made my day as it sat still a few seconds for these photographs. Phylloscopus collybita Least Concern #birdphotography #BirdsSeenin2025 #Austria #birdlifeaustria

What a fun #BirdOfTheDay theme today. As I've hunted through the #OddAngles shots, much smiles, chuckles and happy memories happened.☺️ This just landed #TocoToucan from the #Panthanal #Brazil is one of them. #birdphotography #bright #colorpop

#BirdsSeenIn2025 still warm from the shoot :D

My #eBird #bird of the day😊 #Wikipedia says, 'Collective nouns for a group of ravens include a "conspiracy", a "treachery", a "rave" and an "unkindness"; most people generally use the more generic "flock".' An 'unkindness' is really most unkind to these interesting birds. #austria #birdlifeaustria

A weekend to love. 2 lifers - the Middle Spotted Woodpecker and the Grey headed woodpecker. 2 awesome pygmy owls and some other non-lifer but awesome birds. ALSO experienced the start of winter! And a new #Birding Location vodomcevgaj.si for those in & near #Slovenia 🙂 Now sorting photos🙂🙂🙂

Absolutely incredible experiences with two Pygmy Owls yesterday in #slovenia #birds #EurasianPygmyOwl #GlaucidiumPasserinum #yesterday

In #Slovenia for the birds. Hoping to get some #UralOwls #TawnyOwls and ❤️ #PygmyOwls. #LongEaredOwls will be a bonus. Wish us luck!! 😊

#BirdOfTheDay theme #Flying Last year we went to #Hortobágyi National Park, #Hungary to photograph Common Cranes on their autumn migration. Thousands collect there to feed before flying on This shot of a solitary crane on a curtain of light at sunrise is for me very special. #birdphotography

A hummingbirds job is never done. There I go #thinking on my wings again! Speckled hummingbird #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsSeenIn2025 #Colombia

It's been wonderful this year. Walks in town, along the river were impressive in the number of birds that I spotted. This is a very sweet female Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata). It's mate unfortunately wasn't anywhere around. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #birds #Leoben #Austria #RiverMur #birdlifeaustria

#BirdOfTheDay #Raptors #birds It was cold and rainy. Our guide suggested we stay in the hotel. Instead we went out in #KazirangaNationalPark, #India and met this #GreyHeadedFishEagle. It was a morning out straight out off the storybooks. 🙂

Checking us out. An African Fish-Eagle on Lake Naivasha in #Kenya. #BirdOfTheDay alternate theme, #SideEye #birdphotography #FishEagle

Phew! It's dedicated work but good fun making a bird list on my website. Finally finished all the 'A's. AND I did go with an 'order' classification 😊😊😊😊😊 Come see and please give feedback! 🙏 www.anuradhasarup.com/my-bird-world #birdphotography #birding #birdcrazy #birdlist

It's lovely! New Zealand's Tūī (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) can sing its heart out because you’re 266% more likely to spot one today than in Christchurch in 2012, as per results of the New Zealand Garden Bird Survey! #BirdOfTheDay #singing #birds #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #birdsvideo

While in #Colombia, even in a country of bright coloured birds, our local experts kept waiting for the 'Multicoloured tanager'. Super excited when they saw it! My offering for todays #BirdoftheDay theme of #colorful #birds #photography Chlorochrysa nitidissima Conservation status: Vulnerable

The European Robin Part II (the song) Celebrating it's gorgeous song, as it sang it's heart out on a grey morning. People who work on protection for beauty such as this are real-life heroes. #birdvideo #austria #EuropeanRobin #birdlifeaustria #birds

‪The Robin Part I (In pictures) I had to share the wonder of this Robin's beauty, it's gorgeous song and to celebrate it's life. (reason in alt text) #birds #austria #robin #birdlifeaustria

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #black The Asian Koel, the local cuckoo in #India. It's song the song of Spring, mango trees coming into bloom. The songtrack of the true Indian summer (not an autumn known as such) and yet I had never photographed it till this year. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #birds

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme #droplets, the Eurasian Blackbird from #Spain We were sitting in a hide in dry, dusty hot central Spain, hoping to photograph the Iberian Lynx. Till it came, the birds put on an entertaining show. #birdphotography

A question for birders. I'm making a list of #birds on my website & would like to classify them in a easy way for non-scientific people. Pic shows what I have but it's not working well already. Any recommendations for an established system i can use? www.anuradhasarup.com/birds-list Thanks :)

A gift of freedom. A magic of flight. A gift of wings. For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme #wings, the Roadside Hawk from the #Panthanal, #Brazil #birdphotography

Backlit photo of a female Northern Cardinal in a wild rose bush. Lots of berries which are being eaten by many species of birds and of course why we have so many wild rose bushes around! #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus #Photography

The #Long-tailedTit an adorable little fluff-ball that stays with us in Austria even during the winter. AND last winter came to our feeder! Fingers crossed for this year :) These shots are from #isoladellaCona #Italy #birdphotography #BirdOfTheDay 'Family Paridae of Birds'

In a sad place where autumn bird migration means the local forests, parks and rivers have emptied out. 😔 #WorldMigratoryBirdDay

My first post for #BirdoftheDay and a personal favourite for #Beakful Taken a few years back, this is for me, a sweet variation on the symbolism of a dove with an olive branch. #White-backedVulture Scientific Name: Gyps africanus Conservation status: Endangered #MasaiMara #Kenya #birds

I'm sorry I've been missing in action for a while. By way of a catch-up, here are two photos I managed to get of the Wryneck at Goldcliff Lagoons last week, my first Wryneck since 2019! #BirdingWales #BirdsSeenIn2025

Home town birds from the summer. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #leoben #Austria #EuropeanGreenwoodpecker #birds
