It’s only in putting together this #BirdOfTheDay post, #closeups, that I’ve noticed the amount of green on this female mallard’s head and to the left of the eye. The wide range of colouring on female mallards is also something I’ve noticed recently #photography #birds #wildlife #nature #ducks #Nikon

The little grebe was once known in Lancashire as “little footy arse” because of how far back its feet are, and the grebes’ family name, Podicipedidae, is a mash-up off the Latin for rump and foot. Thanks again “Birds Britannica”. #BirdOfTheDay #Grebes #photography #birds #wildlife

Another one of these cartoons birds as #BirdOfTheDay is the #Tit family. A bit of a cheat as, while they’ve generally been known as bearded tits, they’re not actually a tit and are increasingly being called bearded reedlings. #photography #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #paridae

PING TITS!
It’s that time of year when these very reclusive birds emerge from the reeds in search of grit to help their stomachs adjust from a summer diet of insects to a winter one of seeds. OK, you can call them bearded reedlings if you really must.
