Just got a report that a Citrine wagtail has showed up to one of my local birding spots so I'm going to head out and hopefully see one in Sweden😁 In the meantime here is one from #India for #YellowThu 😎 #Birds #Photography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #Sony #BirdLife #India #NaturePhotography #ECK

Good morning Bsky! It's #WaderWednesday 😁 Here is a Greater Painted-snipe that I was fortunate to spot in Keoladeo National Park, #India Always wanted to see one! So the fact that I got enough time to get a photo was epic😁 #Birds #Photography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #Sony #BirdLife

It's happy #Twosday so here are a pair of Jungle babblers from a park in Delhi ☺️ They do look adorable in their own way 🤣 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #India #Sony #BirdLife

Since Alan's alt theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #DappledLight! I figured I'd post this Common Woodshrike from Keoladeo National Park, India We only saw it for a few seconds but I managed to snap on photo of it😁 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #India #Sony #BirdLife

How this Indian paradise flycatcher thought it could be #HiddenInPlainSight for this #BirdOfTheDay I don't know🤔 given how beautiful it is and how much it sticks out☺️but I'm very happy that I got the chance to photograph it😁 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #India #Sony #BirdLife

So Rob's alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Fringillidae Figured I'd post my first Common rosefinch! Always wanted to see one in Sweden, but never had the chance! Didn't expect to see one up in one of the mountains around Rishikesh🤣 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #India #PinkMon

Rob has picked #Reflections for today's #BirdOfTheDay! Last time I didn't have a photo that I was happy with, but this time I got one! From a small pool at Taj Mahal I got a shot of this Rose-ringed Parakeet drinking☺️ #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #NaturePhotography #Nature #BirdLife

Probably one of my favorite photos from Jim Corbett National Park😁 On our last day we had a truly epic moment when a tiger🐯 would slowly walk past our car and disappear into the vegetation☺️ #OrangeSun #Stunday #Photography #WildlifePhotography #SonyAlpha #BigCat #Tiger #ECK #Nature

A fun theme from Alan today for the #BirdOfTheDay #FirstWingbeat! The moment of take off A though challenge since you need to be quick with the trigger! Luckily, I've had two such moments with an Eurasian goldfinch and a Little ringed plover😉 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #Sony

A small set of tiny birds for #SmallBirdSaturday The mud around the pond had not dried up entirely so the House martin, Barn swallows and Goldfinches were still collecting for their nests + bonus Wood warbler☺️ #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #NaturePhotography #Nature #BirdLife #Sweden

Going to head of for the night! But I'm leaving with these flight shots for #FlyDay 1. Common ringed plover 2. Barn swallow 3. Little ringed plover 4. Sand martin #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife #Sweden

Been going through some more of my photos from India and I found this Rose-ringed Parakeet doing some pondering in #Solitude, imo fitting for todays alt theme in #BirdOfTheDay 🤣 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

Yesterday evening I had this White wagtail land right in front of me and started to preen its feathers and do a little shaky before fluttering off to the opposite side of the pond 😁 Thought it looked quite cool 😁 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife #Sweden #BWFri

Alan has picked #NegativeSpace for #BirdOfTheDay! I believe this photo of a Northern gannet in the distance fits fairly well with the theme ☺️ I definitely want to do more of these larger scenes in the future😁 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife #Sweden #FlyDay

A small set of photos from my last visit to the local wetlands, light was a bit harsh so planning on going back a little later in the evening in hope of some good light 😁 1 Little ringed plover 2 Pied avocet 3 Common ringed plover 4 White wagtail #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Nature #Sweden #BirdLife #Birds

Rob has picked #Podicipedidae as the theme for #BirdOfTheDay, always good to learn the Latin family names of birds😁 Haven't had a chance to photograph many grebes this year but here is a Little grebe from a park in Agra, India☺️ #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

Recently went to one of my favorite photography spots Vomb's meadows due to its great wader diversity and accessibility So here is an Eurasian curlew making a funny face for #WaderWednesday 😁 #Birds #Photography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

Realized that I had this photo which I think is appropriate for Alan's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #Determination! It might not look like much but this Sarus crane from Keoladeo is incubating in the scorching Indian sun🥵🥵 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

Kinda bummed that I accidentally erased a bunch of photos from a few days ago🥲 Makes me see a little #Red🤬 Fortunately, it's #RedWed for #ColorADay so here's Gray-breasted Prinia amongst red flowers instead☺️ #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

For Alan's #BirdOfTheDay main theme #Texture! I'm posting this Streaked Laughingthrush from India, I definitely feel like there is some texture there 😁 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

Currently going through some of my recent photos in Sweden since my return from India Had rainy day I spent around Silvåkra and took this shot of a Willow warbler getting hit by a rain droplet Thought it was pretty cool☺️ #Birds #Photography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

No luck with the Black-crowned night heron or Mediterranean gull today 🫤 But at least I have some appropriate photo for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Anatidae An Indian Spot-billed Duck from Keoladeo National Park☺️ #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife

Good morning Bsky! It's #RockinTuesday & #BlueTue / #CyanTue 😁🩵 So I figured I'd post this Common Kingfisher on its fishing spot rock in Jim Corbett National Park #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha #Nature #BirdLife
