Some great images for your #BirdOfTheDay #HangingAround theme Rob. There can be only one choice of image from me for the theme! #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

A couple of Sedge #Warblers for #BirdOfTheDay - thanks for the theme Alan. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Couldn’t let an #AlphabetChallenge go by without a bird photograph from me! For #WeekVforVowels here’s an Osprey overhead. Double points?! (Is no adjectives or adverbs really a thing? What about unloved?! 😮) #EastCoastKin

Last one from me for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved

Nice set of images for #BirdOfTheDay Rob. By the look going between these two Jackdaws they could only be #Mr&Mrs! 😉😂 #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Hope your trip is going well and thanks for continuing #BirdOfTheDay while you’re away. #birdonawire is a good one - here’s a Reed Bunting, a Swallow and a Whitethroat from me. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Nice set of images Rob - "Black-headed"gulls confused me a lot at the beginning and I thot I had discovered a rare hybrid! 🦤 For #BirdOfTheDay #GroundedGulls here are some from me. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Lovely image of a thrush Alan for your #BirdOfTheDay theme. Here are some of the various #Thrushes I've seen - Song Thrush, Redwing, Fieldfare and Blackbird. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

If only there was an Indy referendum ready to go today!

Viral footage of Scotland’s wild on-air celebrations has been branded 'iconic, with fans saying the commentary alone 'will go down in the history books'

Good theme today Rob and your shots capture it really well. I didn't think I had anything rounder than Waxwings full of winter berries but this Robin is giving them a run for their money! #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved - but perhaps not by the owner! #EastCoastKin

It’s clearly a night to share @theguardian.com back page. World Cup, here we come!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏆

Can anybody recommend some good bird watching sites in USA, Canada and Mexico in June and July 2026?Asking for a friend who is preparing the ground for discussions with his other half…! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🏆🦅 #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #EastCoastKin

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved

Nice image and theme Alan. For #BirdOfTheDay #mottled hope these (Song - I think) Thrushes qualify. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Hope your Mum’s ok @robcrank68.bsky.social. For today’s #BirdOfTheDay the #StareDown from this Sparrowhawk is quite intimidating! #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Glasgow’s former Odeon cinema - neglected and run down maybe, but never unloved by Glaswegians. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved #EastCoastKin

Doing his washing in a park in Nice, France - one of the most affluent and chic places in the world. Still wonder what the back story was. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved #EastCoastKin

Can’t get much greyer than a grey heron and your ‘greyt’ image shows this all too well. For #BirdOfTheDay #shadesofgrey the seriously undernamed Grey Wagtail. What were they looking at when it was first named?? 🤷‍♂️ #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Who doesn’t love #Ducklings for #BirdOfTheDay? Watched this family for ages. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Nice set Rob as always. Coot chicks must be a surprise to their parents - bit like I was to mine I expect! 🤓 For #BirdOfTheDay #CootsAndMoorhens here’s a Coot family on the canal. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Nice set of #DucksOutOfWater Rob for #BirdOfTheDay Here are male and female Shoveler ducks on the scrape at @rspbscotland.bsky.social #Lochwinnoch #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

One from the “in for a penny …..” school of thought?!

😡

The Bill. (This Rook could easily play a mean villain in it!) #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision #EastCoastKin

Lovely moody shot Alan. For #BirdOfTheDay this #paddling Whooper swan looks like it's having 2nd thoughts about joining the others for a dip! @rspbscotland.bsky.social #lochwinnoch #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Don’t think a caption’s needed for this. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision #EastCoastKin

Nice Alan - her hair reminds me of mine... in my much younger days! For #BirdOfTheDay #Least I only have 2 shots of this Stone Curlew, unfortunately taken from a great distance, in heavy rain and poor evening light. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Last of the Summer Wine! #WeekTforTelevision is this week’s #AlphabetChallenge #EastCoastKin

Rook black n anger ….. I think it did become a TV programme .. 😉 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision #EastCoastKin

The Crow Road for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision.

Nice set of shots for your #StandingOnThings theme on #BirdOfTheDay Rob. Here’s my selection - House Sparrows (a double-dip for #SparrowSunday), Marsh Tit, Meadow Pipit and Dipper. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Nice capture in difficult setting Alan. For #BirdOfTheDay #takeoffs here’s a Greenfinch taking off! #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Took this a few years ago of me and my pal Dodger and I think it works well for #WeekSforShadows for #AlphabetChallenge.

#Fighting Friday is a great #BirdOfTheDay theme Rob and your Heron shots are great examples. Here's a selection from me - I can vouch that the sparrows are fighting and not getting up to any houghmagandy! #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Nice #BirdOfTheDay theme Alan - just when I was about to sit down for #lunchtime! Does this count, as presumably one of these Swallows has food in its mouth?! #Birds #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Nice Oystercatcher image for #rock and #longbeak themes for #BirdOfTheDay Alan - they’re always very eye catching too! Here’s a Redshank and a Common Sandpiper double dip from me. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Not so great if you’re a Wood louse! #Arachtober and a Giant House spider (I think).

Nice lines and silhouette Alan. For #BirdOfTheDay here’s my offering - by the look on its face I should have been #Hiding from it! #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #wildlife

Is #Thursjay still a thing? The magnificent Boss Rook hopes so! Why Boss Rook? The corvids seem to defer to it, waiting until it's finished eating or leaving the feeder if it comes to feed. More in the comments. @rookman.bsky.social #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #EastCoastKin

Interesting idea Alan - if you wanted to try that why not ban .... Kingfishers?! Here's my contribution of #gulls for #BirdOfTheDay - a Black headed gull on the Clyde. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #UkWildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Farage: epic grifter

Interesting and eye-catching lighting on your #Heron on #BirdOfTheDay Alan A local Heron always skulks about under the trees on the riverbank which makes shots quite atmospheric. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Nice selection of #Egrets for #BirdOfTheDay Rob. Was surprised seeing my first about 2 yrs ago - didn’t know there were such exotic looking birds in UK. Have only seen these 2 types though. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

What was #Inside. #BlueSkyArtShow #Inside

Nice Dunnock #sunlit for #BirdOfTheDay Alan - we’ll all be looking for more sunlight soon! Here’s a Fieldfare basking in the sun amongst the leaves of a Rowan tree. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Great #BirdOfTheDay theme Rob - I love #Raptors! MH still on my list to see. Here’s an Osprey, Kestrel, Buzzard & Peregrine from me. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Hope you have a good day out Rob. Nice set of #Singing birds (=happy birds=happy people) on #BirdOfTheDay. Here's a Wren doing its best to drown out a plane landing at the nearby airport! #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

We need some colour today - it’s not stopped raining and the sun even decided not to show up! Something a bit different from me for #BirdOfTheDay #Colourful - I like how the colours of this female Goosander show against the dark waters of the River Ayr. (It was this or a Kingfisher!) #EastCoastKin
