@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. 🪶

Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #GoodLight, so time for this portrait of a Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) captured in the kind of light I normally only dream about!

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!

The #BirdoftheDay themes by @robcrank68.bsky.social are #GoodLight or #Gulls. I was very tempted by a gull in good light for double points, but can't resist this Tufted Titmouse nicely backlit as it spreads for landing.

#BirdOfTheDay : le thème choisi par @robcrank68.bsky.social est une belle lumière #GoodLight et/ou les mouettes et goélands #Gulls
on combine les deux et on obtient ce goéland qui vient souvent piquer les croquettes dans l'assiette du chat chez mes parents.
#Photography #Bird #YellowLeggedGull
Gros plan sur un goéland leucophée adulte, de profil faisant face à la droite de l'image. On voit sa tête, son cou bien droit et le début de ses épaules/dos. Il a l'œil grand ouvert cerclé de rouge orangé. Il fait face à la lumière du soleil qui fait ressortir les détails de ses plumes. Derrière lui, un pot de fleurs en terre cuite rectangulaire avec des plantes aux feuilles vert tendre et aux tiges rougeâtres qui se détachent bien sur le fond vert foncé.

As I mostly photograph woodland birds, I love a bit of dappled shade. Here's Barry the Blue Tit beaming beautifully. #BirdOfTheDay #GoodLight #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #birdphotography #ukbirding

🪶 Rob’s theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #GoodLight and bird capture. The alternative is #gulls
I have to go into my archives for good light; a bullfinch feeding a juvenile from summer.

A male Bullfinch feeding a juvenile on an old branch. The adult is facing the camera in the centre of the shot with the juvenile to the left. The branch is suspended in the tree and visible across the shot from left to right, high to low. The background is out of focus green vegetation

Love how the reflections of the ducklings are highlighting their contrasting colors.🪶

"Don't bug me — I'm fishing!"

This hassled osprey is my #BirdOfTheDay for the first theme of 2026: #B&W.

We met at Columbia Lake in SW Ontario earlier this year — nice guy, but quite irritated on that dull grey morning.

A great blue heron catches a large fish at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black and white photograph the heron is wading in water and walking backwards with a 12 to 15-inch fish in its beak. Water is dripping from the fish. The pond water is rippling outward in a circular pattern after catching the fish seconds before. The frame is mostly the heron with its tail cropped out of the photograph. The background shows a blurred rocky bank to the pond. Photo by Kort Duce
