Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is the kestrel according to Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social . There you go, Rob! However, this one doesn’t look very amused, I would say. Perhaps because he’s not in his element sitting on the ground. #PhotographersOfBluesky #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Dear friends of #PalacesandGardens, I’m very much looking forward to tomorrow’s theme #Myth&Legend and your creative ideas. #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Autumn fireworks. Posted a photo of this Japanese Maple tree already three weeks ago and went to see it again a couple of days ago. Even more stunning this time. #Stunday #31DaysOfHalloween #autumn #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #ColorADay #OrangeSun

Can’t keep my mouth shut (or rather hands still) or my eyes open, but miss you out there and posting photos, too, so here’s me inside looking out for the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNights Good night! #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #photohour #EastCoastKin

I‘d hoped to fly high but was stopped in my tracks at takeoff fighting with blurred vision because of a silly conjunctivitis. Makes me rather slow in commenting on photos, and the #PalacesAndGardens had priority. So I’m not ignoring anyone, I’m just very slow. So this is not #FlyDay! #EastCoastKin

Alan‘s @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay should show #attitude. I think, this handsome sparrow hawk does, judging from the sideways glance I got when it spotted me. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
