Think this is called a "beautiful demoiselle" damselfly and it's a female. Seen at Adderbury Lakes, Oxfordshire on a very very warm day today, on a walk with @richard013.bsky.social

Moon, evening of Friday 22nd May 2026.

However, this shag, sat right on the cliff edge, with its glossy black iridescent feathers and bright yellow mouth, was perhaps the most beautiful bird I saw today.

Fantastic visit to #RSPBBempton. I know everyone loves the puffins, but for me, it's the gannets that really steal the show. Over half of the worlds gannets live in the UK, and Bempton Cliffs simply pulsate with them - they are just magnificent birds. @rspb.bsky.social

The starling fledglings have arrived! No more peace and quiet for their parents! #UKBirding 2/2 @richard013.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

I find it very healing to spend time in local nature reserves, so I decided to join @rspb.bsky.social. I also treated myself to this little 'charm of goldfinches' vase from their shop. In my first visit to St Aidans after joining, it was a goldfinch that welcomed me in.

One of our favourite Saturday hangouts in York - Valhalla is Viking themed with good beer and a heavy rock soundtrack. And these loaded fries (with salami, pepperoni, chorizo, sheffield forge cheddar, spring onions, chillies, parmesan and honey sriracha sauce) are THE BOMB!

Egrets.. I've had a few But then again, too few to mention. 📷 🌿 🪶 #nature #wildlife #birds #photography

Grinning that my bird is a SWIFT racing through the blue, screaming, sparking joy as my eyes stare unblinking & my heart rushes, dedicated to a man who may break the internet today, Sir David #Attenborough on his 100th #birthday. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

🗣️ FOLKS! Our long national nightmare is over. No, not that one... but Spring is springing and #AwesomeBirds is back! See if you recognize this early migrant and spread the #AwesomeBirds gospel! 🙏

Some signs of spring ❤️💜🩷

Distant and not always in focus!, but still really pleased to see a nuthatch earlier this month at Adderbury Lakes, Oxfordshire. #UKBirding
