Who or What am I? Hint 1: If you are lucky, seen on a branch near the corner of the Onny in our meadow; or more likely, going fast, direct and low over the river. Second hint at noon.

For this week's #AlphabetChallenge sub-challenge I'm going with Macro photography as it pairs nicely with this week's prompt. Thanks once again to @sheena-mck.bsky.social for allowing us to piggyback off of her efforts.

Please submit only one shot for the week using the #AlphabetTechPhoto

Cheers!

A photo of a sandy beach on the Isle of Eigg, off the north-west coast of Scotland. There are gentle waves lapping on the sand stretching into the blue sea in the distance. There are green hills on the right of the photo while further beyond there are mountains silhouetted against the blue sky. Photo taken by Corinne Thompson. A photo taken looking out to sea on Handa Island, off the north-west coast of Scotland. The photo is tinged orange by the setting sun which is sitting low in the sky and directly in the centre of the shot. In the foreground there is rocky patches of grass while beyond the sea stretches away to silhouetted mountains on the horizon. There are two people standing on the grass also silhouetted in the light. Photo taken by Danni Thompson. A photo taken from the cliffs on Handa Island off the north-west coast of Scotland. The photo is looking across to another rugged cliff face topped with scrubby green grass. The clif is stained white in multiple places indicating seabird nests. Below, the sea is deep blue with large areas of white water where the sea meets the rocky shore. Photo taken by Dannin Thompson on the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Handa Island Wildlife Reserve. A photo taken of Boulders Bay on Handa Island, off the north-west coast of Scotland. In the foreground, there is a rocky beach scattered with large boulders. Closer to the sea there are patches of seaweed clinging to the rocks. Beyond, the sea stretches round the rocky island coast, reaching silhouetted mountains on the mainland in the distance. Photo taken by Camilla Blasi Foglietti.

'Alright pal, got plans for the #BigGardenBirdwatch?'

'Nah, just the usual... hang out of sight whilst she's doing the count, then touch down once the hour's over. You?'

'Classic. Planning some fly-bys with a few of the boys, but we'll only land one at a time.'

'Niiice.'
A plump Woodpigeon stands confidently at a bird bath, chest puffed out, looking slightly smug. Beside it, a glossy Starling with shimmering green and purple feathers sits lower down, tilting its head up as if deep in conversation. The two birds appear to be mid-chat, giving off the vibe of scheming pals casually plotting how to dodge being counted in the Big Garden Birdwatch.

I exchange a smile with the mum of a little boy in the park as a large brown leaf comes to land at his feet and he says to it: Are you ok?

Snow baths for both Ravens today. I’m sure if I watched other birds as closely I’d see how they all have amazing characters, but Ravens do seem special! I wonder, if more people saw what fun, affectionate characters birds are they would care more about them and their habitats.

Hi Blueskystorians - I'm looking for your favourite, recent-ish examples of work that is conceived and published as local history, but reaches out to national/global themes. Any thoughts?
