Yesterday I got lucky with a pair of brave juvenile Bearded reedlings (Skäggmes), they were feeding maybe less than 5m away from me, so lucky!😁 Been chasing them since the beginning of the year, it always feels so rewarding to finally get to photograph them😁😁 #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #EastCoastKin

Was looking for a picture for #RedWed and I found these 2 Red-breasted geese causing #Drama, which I figured would fit well with @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #DramaQueens 😁 #PhotographersUnited #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin #Birding #Photography #SonyAlpha #Birds #WildLifePhotography

@alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PeacefulSolitide I remembered I had this photo of a Whooper Swan from a warm misty spring morning, it slowly came swimming out of the mist as I was waiting by the shore 😁 #PhotographersUnited #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin #Birding #Photography #SonyAlpha

Realized that I had this European herring gull (Gråtrut), which in Swedish is basically named #grey gull😂So I figured I'd add it to the #BirdOfTheDay and #CollectingFood Saw it grab the crab as we were preparing to leave the harbor in Helsingborg last summer 😊 #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin #Birds

@robcrank68.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood & alt #Grey So why not go with a Grey Heron with a juicy perch! + a bonus Bee-eater catching an admiral 😁 #PhotographersUnited #Nature #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin #Birding #Photography #BirdPhotography #SonyAlpha #WildLifePhotography

@alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Birds&Bugs & #EverydayBirds ! So I'm going with this White wagtail (Sädesärla) with a newly emerged mayfly for it's fledglings 😁 #Birding #Photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #EastCoastKin #SonyAlpha #PhotoHour #WildLifePhotography

Good morning Bsky!😊 Here is a Yellow-breasted Warbler from Borneo for #YellowThu No the easiest photo because of the dense vegetation and low light condition but it turned out ok I think😁 #ColorADay#Nature #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin #Birding #Birds #SonyAlpha #WildLifePhotography

For #WaderWednesday I'm posting some Northern lapwings (Tofsvipa) Birds that I can't wait for to return to Sweden! Some truly amazing looking birds and always entertaining to try to photograph😁 #Birds #Photography #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #SonyAlpha #PhotoHour #WildLifePhotography

A new lifer for me! A Water pipit (Vattenpiplärka) currently residing just outside of Lomma! Not the easiest bird I've photographed it but very charming seeing it run back and forth on the snow piles 😁 #Birds #Birding #BirdLife #Photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsSeenIn2026

@robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen #WaterBirds for #BirdOfTheDay So here is a #Greatcormorant (Storskarv) that has started to get its breeding plumage 😁 #Birding #Photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #EastCoastKin #SonyAlpha #PhotoHour #WildLifePhotography

A few photos from my morning at Klagshamn☺️ I was looking for the Steller's eider and went out to the pier and spotted an adult #White-tailedEagle (Havsörn) and a #Smew (Salskrake) not too bad for going in the wrong direction🤣 #Birding #Photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsSeenIn2026

A bird I was super excited to see when I went to #Nicaragua was the Purple Gallinule! Such an amazing looking bird with its varied colours of blue a bird I think fits the #BlueTue 🤩 #Birds #Birding #Wildlife #ColorADay #Photography #CyanTue #Nature #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin

The weather in #Sweden has been the typical #grey so I've been focusing on my yearly birding list😁Fortunately for me a Steller's eider (Alförrädare) has appeared just outside Malmö so I just had to go for it😁 #Birds #Birding #BirdLife #Photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsSeenIn2026

For @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay #OddCouples I'm posting this photo of a King eider and Steller's eider two incredibly rare waterfowls in southern Sweden And I doubt I'll get another shot like this😁 #birds #EastCoastKin #Photography #Nature #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBluesky

Oh, you lot are 🌟 for continuing the #SmallBirdSaturday theme thank you 🙏 Can I just say, it’s not the #BirdOfTheDay theme, that’s set daily by @alan678.bsky.social and @robcrank68.bsky.social totally separate - and one of the best themes out there
