One of several Wood Pigeons that were in the garden in Cheshire today for #BirdsSeenIn2026
A common enough bird but still beautiful, a Wood Pigeon.

Observing gulls can be very rewarding, not least when a Kittiwake appears in their midst @rspb.bsky.social as last Sunday in Southend-on-Sea @britishnatureguide.bsky.social #BirdsSeenIn2026

Blauwe Rotslijster / Blue Rock Thrush ging afgelopen week mooi poseren tijdens onze wintervogelreis in Extremadura. Elke keer weer genieten van de vogels én het prachtige Spanje.

While in Beerwah ( Australia), I added 2 more kingfishers lifers to my list , the forest kingfisher, as well as the Azure kingfisher.
These are much smaller that the belted kingfisher I’m used to see in Texas .

Velvet-fronted Nuthatch has different feather structures on its forehead which creates a velvety appearance and its purpose is to provide added eye protection as the bird forages along branches #BirdsSeenIn2026

Magical views of male crossbills in #Nottinghamshire @rspb.bsky.social what an absolute treat. The best views I’ve ever had of them having only ever seen them in the tree tops. Had to go back for seconds #birds #UKbirds #wildlifephotography 🪶 @britishbirdsbbrc.bsky.social

Raptor conflict. Pair of Black-winged Kites (Elanus caeruleus) attacked/chased of much larger Aquila Eagle. Undecided if it is a Greater Spotted Eagle (Clanga clanga) or Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis)

I saw this Crested Pigeon 'Ocyphaps lophotes' along the banks of the Torrens River Adelaide, #Australia, they usually don't get this close
