Great shot Alan - the colours work really well together.
For the #FoodFinds #BirdOfTheDay theme here are a couple of not the best images of Long-eared Owls with food - but what a thrill it was to see and catch this.

Nice theme and set Rob - have yet to see a RND. Here’s a Goldeneye (giving me the eye) for #BirdOfTheDay #BlackAndWhite.

One of my many New Year’s resolutions is to try to post other than bird photos for #AlphabetChallenge!
Maybe next week …..!

Morning all - a Meadow Pipit for Alan’s #speckles&spots #BirdOfTheDay theme. Always nice to see but I liked the contrast of its delicacy and the harsh barbed wire and how the wire colour changed at the fence post.

Caution - nature in the raw!
Haven’t had much snow here lately so all I’ve got for #BirdOfTheDay #snowy is this Buzzard showing some interesting behaviour with a small mammal - seems to be playing with it at times.

Nice #BirdOfTheDay theme Alan and couldn't resist offering up this blue dart (in case you're blocking the K word!) for #caughtinmotion!

Happy New Year all - hope it’s healthy, happy and fun! Spent an hour in the garden for the first time for ages and had this very welcome Buzzard first footer fly over in beautiful light just in time for #Flyday.

#Serenity before the New Year celebrations - nice one Alan!
For #BirdOfTheDay here’s a serene family swan scene - at least it was until a Canada Goose had to be warned off!

Great theme Rob. I had 2 birding highlights this year that work well with #BirdOfTheDay #Outstretched - a Long-eared owl and an Osprey up close after a successful stoop.

That’s a great image Vicky. Had the pleasure of watching this little mouse from about 2m away for about 20 minutes as it worked its way up and down the grasses.

Nice set and theme today Rob.
Here’s ’Boss Rook’ posing in profile - he’s an impressive regular visitor to our garden.

#AlphabetChallenge
#WeekZforZero - it’s there if you look closely. This was an impressive sight on the Clyde a while back.
December 23, 2025 at 11:50 PM
We will …. oops, I mean they probably will…..
Well it looks like the #AlphabetChallenge will continue! Thanks for all the really lovely responses - both about the challenge and me 🥰 I’ll try to live up to them! One thing to ponder though. I wonder if the 7 people, who voted to kill the challenge on my Dark Side poll, keep on playing? 😂😂
As we approach the end of the year (and alphabet) the question is whether to continue the #AlphabetChallenge - or if, after 4 rounds in 2 yrs, we let it die gracefully. Let me have your thoughts pls and I won’t be offended whatever you decide! (Shame you can’t do a poll here like on the dark side)

For #BirdOfTheDay many of us will have felt like the mum in between these 2 does when it’s all #AboutTheKids!
Fun theme and great set of images to go with it Rob.

Quiet moments
With these 6.

With Glasgow & Clydebank in the background this Cormorant looks very peaceful on a very cold morning. We all need more #Quietmoments, #BirdOfTheDay or not - thanks Alan!

#LongLegsAndNeck is a great theme for #BirdOfTheDay and your collection of images really fits with it Rob.
Here’s a local Grey heron having trouble controlling its long legs!

Have just watched #PlanesTrainsandAutomobiles for the first time for years. Always loved it but had forgotten just how much. What a treat - 2 comedy actors at their absolute best. Still laughing.

Nice set of images Rob, setting the scene nicely for today’s #Groups #BirdOfTheDay theme. I like how abstract this mixed flock of waders looked.

Does a monkey nut count as part of #NaturesPantry for #BirdOfTheDay Alan? A pretty ambitious Coal Tit regardless!
Isn’t your Blackcap a beautiful little bird?

Lovely set of images for your #ScratchersAndPruners funny #BirdOfTheDay theme Rob. Do birds prune?! 🤷‍♂️
Here’s a Waxwing tidying itself up after getting a soaking earlier.
