Focusing on #Robins and #Sideviews for #BirdOfTheDay #birds #photography #nature

For the #Photogenic #BirdOfTheDay theme may I present an Egret staring at its own reflection, and a stunning kingfisher. #photography #birds #nature

For the Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LightAndShade I offer you this late afternoon partially sunlit Kestrel - hovering over Beddington Farmlands a few weeks back. #bird #photography #nature

Several #SideView photos for today's #BirdOfTheDay - all taken on a cold Feb 2026 visit to @wwtworldwide.bsky.social in Barnes. #photography #nature #birds

Five Sanderlings whizzing by - perfect for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme #FourOrMore 😀 #birds #photography #nature

My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said “ today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, your bird captures you like best from February, the Alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves.” Guardian Of The Dark Riverbank. February 8th. #classicmono #photography #birds #EastCoastKin

The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #PigeonsAndDoves - I was in London this week - wandered through Spa Fields for the first time and spotted these. #photography #urbannature #birds

An upside down Siskin near Beddington Farmlands. My first Siskin of 2026 so I'm choosing this as my #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfTheMonth #photography #nature #bird - off to admire some other choices now.

Hoping this puffed up wren fits the #Borb brief for #BirdOfTheDay 😀 #photography #bird #nature

Heather is an excellent writer - but don’t take my word for it, read on.

Late to the #BirdOfTheDay party with this #RuffledFeathers kestrel taken at Beddington Farmlands recently. #photography #nature #bird

The Wandle Telegraph - an attempt to turn a bird sighting list into something more akin to a story. Curious to know what you think? :) #photography #bird #wren #nature www.dougshawart.com/blog/the-wan...

Surrounded by ghosts There’s something wonderful about being in the presence of long tailed tits. They flit among the branches, ghostlike. You know they’re there, visible as tiny corner of the eye movements, quietly but definitely audible too. #BirdOfTheDay #cute #photography #nature

The tree this heron is on is in the middle of Carshalton Ponds - so I reckon this photo qualifies for #WingsOverWater today's #BirdOfTheDay #photography #heron #nature #bird

#BirdOfTheDay is #Robins - plenty of that going on around here! #Photography #nature #birds

I was recently allowed to get up close with this #PeacefulSolitude kestrel, on Beddington Farmlands. I was within 3 metres before it took flight. #BirdOfTheDay #nature #photography #bird

Going with a #Grey Wagtail for #BirdOfTheDay #photography #nature

Did someone say #BirdButts ?? Young gull facing away from the camera down by the harbour in Vigo, October 2025 - superb plumage eh. #birdoftheday #photography #nature

Statuesque

Here’s my #BirdOfTheDay on the theme of #Portrait - good for Valentines’s Day too, a canoodling pair of gannets. #Birds #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #canon #photography #nature #naturephotography #Gannet #Valentine #Seabird

Lovely - I've yet to see one in the wild.

The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsBeingBirds - here we have a robin singing on a fence post, and three magpies arguing on the way home from the pub! #birds #nature #photography

Posing perfectly for its #Portrait a kingfisher for #BirdOfTheDay I spent several minutes in the presence of this beauty last summer. #photography #bird #nature

A lovely set of #DivingForFood photos!!

Niiice!

Great Crested Grebe and Kingfisher - both seen @wwtworldwide.bsky.social in Barnes, West London earlier this week. Poor light conditions but these have come out OK - I think?! #BirdOfTheDay #DivingForFood #nature #photography #birds

Lovely.

How about this - a skylark not even a metre away from me! #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsAndBugs I turned a corner and there it was. I retreated slowly, turned away and off it went 💚 #photography #bird #nature

#BirdOfTheDay theme #Birds&Bugs

Out walking dog folks. Back shortly to have a peek at BOTD. Be good. 😊 #BirdOfTheDay #EverydayBirds

The hedge on the neighbouring farm tracks is full of today’s #BirdOfTheDay #EverydayBirds - delightful House Sparrows!! #photography #nature #birds

I see that #Blue is the alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay - I saw this kingfisher @wwtworldwide.bsky.social in Barnes yesterday. ¢nature #bird #photography #kingfisher

For today's #BirdOfTheDay #WaterBirds theme - I'm going with this Snipe I spotted yesterday. I still can't quite believe I managed to see it hiding there in plain sight!! #nature #birds #photography

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples , two different birds in one capture, the alt is #Urban , birds in an urban environment. Good luck and have a great day. 😊 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Sanderling up above, gull down below - #BirdOfTheDay #OddCouples 😀 #nature #photography #birds

Another one for the #BirdOfTheDay #StareDown theme - a male sparrow hawk glaring at me in a local park last Spring! #birds #nature #photography

I spotted a Little Egret in Morden Hall Park yesterday - this pic definitely fits the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #StareDown 😀 #photography #nature

Aha!! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #posted and the alt theme is #red. Please allow me to tick both off in one go - with this Black Redstart on a pedestal - spotted in Vigo last year. #bird #redstart #nature #photography

The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #blurred - I took a few skylark in flight photos last summer - they're all a bit wobbly on the wings - but I like 'em! #nature #bird #photography

A scene of #Serenity for #BirdOfTheDay - swans among the reeds @wwtworldwide.bsky.social in Barnes. #nature #photography #birds

Such a good read - so good in fact, that the LP in the story became an actual real thing - fantastic!!

A little watercolour doodle - no matter how mindless I feel when dabbling like this - the end result often turns to ‘The Path’ - where walking becomes art and vice versa. #art #watercolour #purple #blue

Superb photo ♥️

#BirdOfTheDay I love this shot of four House Sparrows flying in line #SmallBirdSaturday

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #birdsandberries - I offer you this delightful redwing complete with tongue sticking out!! #photography #birds #nature

I love this book - for those who don’t yet have it, roll on April 26!!

Come In Number 58 Way up on high, a buzzard circles across the sky. This is the 58th species I’ve sighted so far this year. The bird was too far away for a decent photograph so I’ve chosen to give this shot some artful treatment - and today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #BlackAndWhite #photography
