I was really happy to catch some Black-bellied Sandgrouse flying past yesterday accompanied by 3 Pin-tailed Sandgrouse. This is part of a flock of 20 birds. Very difficult to get decent photos of these birds. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2025 #Alicante

Morning, Susan ☕️ Still waking, could really use the cup today, thanks. 🙏🏼 Hope your weekend is enjoyable. Here’s a little green sweat bee #inside of a poppy for #blueskyartshow for you today, from earlier this summer in Chicago, not far from my former home.

Today was an awesome day for watching and capturing the Bitterns at RSPB Minsmere, the Island Mere Hide definitely was the place to be between 8am -12pm. They are rough screen grabs off the back of the camera. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin @rspb.bsky.social #birdphotography #ukbirding

We've had some beautiful glowing sunsets this fall in the Finger Lakes #BlueSkyArtShow #Glow

Seeing the theme of #BirdOfTheDay is #spotted, either when you have been spotted by your subject or a bird with spots or blotches on its plumage, I could not resist posting a shot of a #SpottedTowhee with splotches, who definitely caught me taking his picture! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Since I have taken so many pix/videos of them in the last week, I have to post something for #WoodDuckWednesday! A male courting 2 females! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

I'm back, that was a good day out at WWT Martin Mere. It started off slow but it picked up in the afternoon, with a surprise visit from a Glossy Ibis, juvenile Peregrine and a pair of Kestrels. Now to crack on with all the BOTD replies & reposts. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono

Time for #BirdOfTheDay! The theme is #favourite so let’s see your favourite birds! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin Hard to choose a favourite but, anticipating their late fall arrival from the mountains, I'm going to say a western bird, the Varied Thrush!
