Calling this one ‘The evil stare’ and I’m imagining a witches laugh… not for the squeamish😉 #BirdOfTheDay #Rocky #puffins #birds #birdphotography #ECK #UKBirding #BirdLife #wildlife #UKWildlife

Alan has set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #Rocky, birds perched on rocks and alt as #Contortionist, birds getting into strange shapes. Not sure about the latter but for my first on the rocks I’ll go with this trio… #puffins #birds #birdphotography #ECK #UKBirding #BirdLife #wildlife #UKWildlife

Alan said today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Lifer & Alt #BirdsILove. I can certainly count the white-tailed eagle as a Lifer from Norway & I loved seeing these magnificent birds although I’m unlikely to see them again anytime soon ☹️ #birds #photography #birdwatching #birdphotography #whitetailedeagle

Alan has said today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Orange and the Alt theme is #Reflections So going with this great crested grebe from last week for a #TwoFer #birds #photography @rspb.bsky.social #birdphotography #ECK #UKBirding #naturephotography #BirdLife #wildlife #UKWildlife

Alan set today’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme as #TheWaitingGame Patience rewarded, whether by bird or photographer, in this case both. The patience of the barn owl hunting for food and mine trying to get a half-decent shot. Posted my best shot previously but not the story/sequence. Details in Alt text.

This pair found a great place to sit and read! #Tromsø #Norway #Stunday #seascape #scape #bluesky #sea #photography #nature #eck #photographersunited #iphone
