Sorry folks I'm out as I love wintery walks with the dog. For Susan snow as promised @sdcushing.bsky.social Have to do an airport run soon then back to look at #BirdOfTheDay entries. This was taken this morning as the sun rose, wintertime #Ireland #BlueSkyArtShow #NewYear #photography #EastCoastKin
A winter sunrise in rural Ireland, with bare deciduous trees silhouetted against glowing golden clouds and a blue morning sky. The low sun sits near the horizon, casting warm light across a frosty green field scattered with patches of snow, a low stone wall in the distance, and a narrow path with fence posts along the right edge of the scene.

Today’s theme is #CaughtInMotion Here is a Jay doing a vertical take off manoeuvre #BirdOfTheDay #birds 🪶 @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social
A Jay caught in vertical flight as it aims for a silver birch stump. Its wings are part folded in but the flash of blue is visible.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #caughtinmotion & the alternative theme is #BirdsofPrey - here we have both.
A pair of young White-tailed Eagles exchanging nesting material, during an early spring courtship display.
Absolutely breathtaking to witness.

Today’s alternative theme is #BirdsOfPrey Here is a quartet of killers in flight. #BirdOfTheDay #birds 🪶 @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social
Marsh Harrier with cream head and dark brown body flies against a blur of trees. Sparrowhawk launches from a bare tree branch with wings downswept. Its yellow eye fixed on something off camera. A Kestrel hovers against a blue sky its head slightly cocked to one side. A Hobby flies with wings on the upbeat, a dragonfly clutched in its talons.

Such a FUN #BirdOfTheDay theme, #caughtinmotion, thanks to @robcrank68.bsky.social ! Here are 3 roseate spoonbills and a wood stork way at the top of bare branches in the Brazilian Pantanal.

The 2 stand outs from my New Years Day trip to WWT Martin Mere, where the Ring-necked Duck and the leucistic Reed Bunting.

The Ring-necked Duck was my 1st Lifer ✅ of 2026.

@alan678.bsky.social has chosen #CaughtInMotion for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, and #BirdsOfPrey for the Alternative theme.

So here's a Barn Swallow, Cattle Egret, Andean Condor & Bald Eagle covering both the #CaughtInMotion and #BirdsOfPrey themes.

@robcrank68.bsky.social set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme to #GoodLight with the alt #Gulls, and I'm throwing in a lesser black-backed gull on a slightly hazy day light to cover both. 🪶

A very large brown bird with long white neck, head and beak is looking to the right. It's perched on a rock and its large feet are visible. The background is uniformly dark.

Backlit shot of a European white stork on a green meadow. Its feathers, ruffled by the wind, glisten in the light. The damp meadow sparkles.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme #GoodLight
set by @robcrank68.bsky.social

I decide to go with this little male oriental magpie-robin.
The bluish-black feathers on the bird's head and neck are beautiful!
