#birdoftheday alt theme is #YearRound and I see Little Egret just about daily whether in Europe or SE Asia. This one carrying nesting material in a #KualaLumpur park #birds #birdsSeenIn2026 #Malaysia #urbanBirding

The #birdoftheday theme today is #tricolour - thanks @alan678.bsky.social I've chosen Mountain Tailorbird & Silver-eared Mesia I took in #CameronHighlands #Malaysia recently. #birds #birding #EastCoastKin #birdsSeenIn2026

I've just discovered it's #MacroMonday and this is one of my absolute favourites. Half-edged Wall Jumping Spider (Menemerus semilimbatus) from Essaouira #Morocco late last year. #macroPhotography #ECK #wildlife #spiders

The #birdoftheday theme today is #Preeners&Scratchers, like this Painted Stork in a #KualaLumpur park #Malaysia last week. #birds #birding #EastCoastKin #urbanBirding #birdsSeenIn2026 @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social

This Blue-tailed Bee-eater in #KualaLumpur Botanical Gardens meets both #birdoftheday themes of #migratory & #bugCatchers (thanks @alan678.bsky.social) Winter visitors to S Thailand and #Malaysia. Big numbers move north this time of year. #birds #birding #ECK #urbanBirding #birdsSeenIn2026

How about this Hume's White-eye for #smallbirdsaturday. White-eyes are notoriously difficult to identify but at altitude in #CameronHighlands this is the only likely species. More in alt text. #birds #birding #EastCoastKin #birdsSeenIn2026 #Malaysia

The #birdoftheday theme today is #LookingAtMe. These are all from January 2026: Striated Yuhina, Scarlet Minivet, Sooty-headed Bulbul, Eastern Red-rumped Swallow at #ChiangDao #Thailand #birds #birding #EastCoastKin #birdsSeenIn2026 @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social

Kitstanbul (formerly Catstantinople) in February for @leventturedi.bsky.social #cats #Istanbul #Turkey #catsOfBluesky #catPhotography

The #birdoftheday alt theme is #silhouettes&shadows. I shot this Osprey at dawn yesterday in the mangroves at #Krabi #Thailand #birds #birding #EastCoastKin #birdsSeenIn2026 @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social

My first #flyDay post. Swifts have to be one of the most challenging #birds to capture #birdsinflight and these are not the best, but I'm learning. Plain Swift #GranCanaria, Pallid Swift #Oman, House Swift and Plume-toed Swiftlet #Malaysia All #birdsSeenIn2026 #birding #urbanBirding #birdsOfBlueSky

The #birdoftheday theme today is #grounded, #birds on natural ground. Medium Egret prefers dry ground compared with Great's preferred wetland. See alt text for ID discussion. #krabi #Thailand #birding #EastCoastKin #urbanBirding #birdsSeenIn2026 @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social

@robcrank68.bsky.social set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #MarriedCouples. A pair of Black-collared Starlings having a tiff in Benchakitti Park #Bangkok #Thailand Feb 2026. #birding #EastCoastKin #birds #urbanBirding #birdsSeenIn2026

It's still #WoodpeckerWednesday for most people so here's a Common Flameback from Taman Tasik Permaisuri #KualaLumpur #Malaysia #birds #Woodpeckers #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

#whereLandMeetsWater you can find Sandwich Tern, Great Cormorant, Black-headed, Slender-billed, Caspian and Pallas' Gulls on Azaiba Beach, #Muscat #Oman. #birdoftheday #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 @alan678.bsky.social @robcrank68.bsky.social

I'll take the alt theme #treePerchers for today's #birdoftheday @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social This Barred Eagle-owl is a celebrity at Taman Tasik Permaisuri #KualaLumpur. Locals are very proud and keen to show visitors where to look. #birds #owls #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #Malaysia

Alt #birdoftheday theme from @alan678.bsky.social & @robcrank68.bsky.social is #robins. This adult male Siberian #Robin also visited the feeding station at Bukit Tinggi #Malaysia. I've been seeing far fewer of these than normal this year. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #ECK

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections. Thanks @robcrank68.bsky.social. Shot a few moments ago. Black-crowned Night Heron and Grey Heron at Taman Tasik Permaisuri (Lake Garden), #KualaLumpur #Malaysia #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #urbanBirding

The alt theme for #birdoftheday is #sparrows and they don't come much smarter than Plain-backed Sparrow IMO. This was in Benchakitti Park #Bangkok last month. @alan678.bsky.social @robcrank68.bsky.social #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #Thailand #urbanBirding

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #Splash. Here's a Hooded Crow in the rain in #Istanbul last month. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #Turkey

Our #birdoftheday theme from @alan678.bsky.social & @robcrank68.bsky.social is #feeders. From the same feeding station as yesterday's Peacock-pheasant at Bukit Tinggi #Malaysia, another #lifer for me was a pair of gorgeous Ferruginous Partridge. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #Eastcoastkin

@alan678.bsky.social & @robcrank68.bsky.social chose #GreyDay for #BirdOfTheDay theme. I'm sharing my latest #lifer. The subtle greys of this Mountain Peacock-pheasant at Bukit Tinggi #Malaysia contrast with the warm brown and bright blue "eyes". #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #Eastcoastkin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #TwigsAreUs, #birds perched on twigs. Which got me thinking when does a small branch become a twig? Anyway, this is one of a few Marsh Tits along the Wenyu River #Beijing #China 1 month ago. #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #bluesky

@alan678.bsky.social set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #SongBirds and the alternative is #PerfectlyPerched What about this male Pygmy Flycatcher at Hutan Lipur Falls, Tanah Rata #CameronHighlands #Malaysia for both? #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #EastCoastKin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying by @robcrank68.bsky.social. I have a male Plaintive Cuckoo and Spotted Owlet from Benchakitti Park #Bangkok and an Eastern Red-rumped Swallow from #ChiangDao #birds #birding #cuckoos #owls #swallows #birdsSeenIn2026 #Thailand #EastCoastKin

@alan678.bsky.social's theme today is #Corvidae. Happily #magpies are members of that family and I recently had some great encounters with Common Green Magpie at Tanah Rata #CameronHighlands #Malaysia. Such a contrast to the #crows! #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

@robcrank68.bsky.social set the #BirdOfTheDay theme as #SideProfiles. The alt is #Robins and this male Oriental Magpie-robin covers both. One of the most #commonbirds in South/SE Asia but I rarely get a good shot like this one from Benchakitti Park #Bangkok #Thailand #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

@alan678.bsky.social set #photogenic and #LightAndShade as #BirdOfTheDay themes today. I've chosen a recent Black-throated Sunbird, a common #bird at Tanah Rata, #CameronHighlands #Malaysia #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #EastCoastKin

For #smallBirdSaturday I'd like to share this tiny Yellow-breasted Warbler I took yesterday. Part of a fast moving mixed flock of small #birds on Trail 4, Tanah Rata #CameronHighlands #Malaysia #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

#StandingInWater is the theme for #BirdOfTheDay by @robcrank68.bsky.social and this Little Heron is doing just that, on a leaf that is #green (the alt theme). From Benchakitti Park #Bangkok #Thailand recently. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #EastCoastKin

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SteppingOut - birds captured mid step. Thanks @alan678.bsky.social for the chance to post this handsome Sooty Gull strutting along the shore near Muscat in #Oman recently. A #lifer for me. #birds #birding #gulls #birdsSeenIn2026

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @robcrank68.bsky.social #MixedPairs (photos with pairs of different bird species), found this shot of Kentish Plover and Common Greenshank together near Muscat #Oman recently. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

For @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #ShoutItOut I've got 3 candidates. Black-breasted Thrush #DoiPhaHomPok, Black Bulbul #DoiLangWest and Oriental Reed Warbler #BenchakittiPark #Bangkok. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #Thailand #NationalParks

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideView set by @robcrank68.bsky.social Bulbuls are an incredibly diverse family but here are just four from northern #Thailand: Red-whiskered, Puff-throated, Black-crested and Grey-eyed. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, set by @alan678.bsky.social, is #PerfectLighting. These Pacific Swallows in warm morning light at Hua Hin pier a couple of days ago fit the bill nicely. #birds #birding #photography #Thailand #birdsSeenIn2026 #EastCoastKin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore #birds in one shot, set by @robcrank68.bsky.social A nice excuse to share this early morning party of Mountain Bamboo Partridges I photographed at Doi Lang West in northern #Thailand at the end of January. #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

The alt theme for #birdoftheday is #songBirds and it's also #smallBirdSaturday, so I'm going to throw this tiny male Ornate Sunbird into the mix. It even meets the #primaryColours main theme. Taken recently in Benchakitti Park, #Bangkok #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #urbanBirding #Thailand

I went looking for #PrimaryColours for the #birdoftheday theme set by @alan678.bsky.social and the bright yellows of these Orioles leapt out. Black-naped from Benchakitti Park in #Bangkok and Black-hooded from #ChiangDao #birds #birding #bidsSeenIn2026 #Thailand

#BirdOfTheDay Alternative theme is #PigeonsAndDoves so here's a selection from #Thailand from the past few weeks. Red Collared Dove, Spotted Dove, Oriental Turtle Dove and Zebra Dove. #birdsSeenIn2026 #birds #birding

#BestOfTheMonth #birdoftheday for me is this Spotted Owlet in Benchakitti Park, #Bangkok a few days ago. Was good to finally get good shots of a familiar bird. #birds #birding #urbanBirding #birdsSeenIn2026 #Thailand #EastCoastKin @alan6789.bsky.social

A lot of options for the #birdoftheday #WingsWideOpen theme set by @alan678.bsky.social today. Not the best IQ but chose this Oriental Pied Hornbill flying over Wat Tham Pha Plong, #Chiangdao #Thailand last month, as I've not posted it before. #birds #birding #birdsInFlight #birdsSeenIn2026

#borb is today's theme, which I'll admit I didn't understand at first. But it's round bodied, so my #birdoftheday is Silver-throated Tit, a close relative of the familiar Long-tailed Tit, I photographed recently in #Beijing #China #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

#PowerPose seemed like quite a challenging theme for #birdoftheday, but maybe this Stork-billed #Kingfisher I encountered yesterday in Benchakitti Park, #Bangkok #Thailand qualifies. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026 #urbanBirding

#RuffledFeathers for this punk Great Myna is my #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birding #birdsSeenin2026

Going to use today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #BirdsInTheirElement, to share a portrait of a Great Cormorant in its natural environment, the sea; in this case the #Bosphorus #Istanbul #Turkey. Good to appreciate #commonbirds #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdsSeenIn2026

#birds with #WaterDroplets on them is today's #birdoftheday theme. I'm choosing this Red-knobbed Coot from #ElHondo in #Valencia #Spain last November #birding #birdsSeenIn2025

With #WingsOverWater being today's #birdoftheday theme I thought I'd choose a selection of birds over the busy #Bosphorus in #Istanbul #Turkey. European Shag, Mediterranean Gull, Great Cormorant and Yelkouan Shearwater (streaming through in the 100s) #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

Spoilt for choice for today's #birdoftheday theme, #BranchBirds, so went for something with just a bird and a branch in it. This Hoopoe was singing at high altitude on Doi Lang West #Thailand. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

Male Mrs Hume's Pheasant is one striking bird! #birds #birding #phonescoping #birdsSeenIn2026 #Thailand

Mrs Hume's Pheasant is another challenging bird of Northern #Thailand mountains. Need to be at one of their roadside feeding areas pre-dawn. Once the sun is up they melt away back into the jungle. #birds #birding #birdsSeenIn2026

#peacefulSolitude, today's #birdoftheday theme. This Common Ringed Plover was dozing peacefully on the beach at Landguard Point #Suffolk back in January. #birds #birding #UKbirding #birdsSeenIn2026 #eastcoastkin
