Dass USA sich in ihrem Wahn isolieren, würde ich mir sehr wünschen. Aber ich höre auch ganz schön viel Applaus für diesen Wahnsinn. 🤢

Today's #birdoftheday set by @alan678.bsky.social is #Speckles&Spots.
Froze til I couldn't feel my fingers at @rspb.bsky.social Titchwell yesterday.
This grey plover was very confiding as I lay on the wet sand in the arctic wind ❄️.
I like the bokeh background.

Further to that last post of mine - in case you were wondering what an Australasian swamphen looks like (formerly known as the purple swamphen - for obvious reasons), here's one I photographed at Mount Gambier in 2022. This one exuded attitude 😆
The are beautiful birds.

@alan678.bsky.social has chosen #CaughtInMotion for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, and #BirdsOfPrey for the Alternative theme.
So here's a Sparrowhawk on the move. I think the covers both themes

The Cetti's warbler a very vocal bird in reed beds and shrubs. Difficult to photograph as they don't hang about for long. Maybe a second if your lucky.
