The smallest of them all but considered king among birds in many European folklore. The Goldcrest is 8.5–9.5 cm in length, and a weight of 4.5–7.0 gm.

These ones were in Slovenia but I hear them call in the park and winter may bring some lucky photographs 😊

#takeoffs over water can add an extra splash to the show.

From a few days over Summer, sitting in a small hot hide in central #Spain, while the birds played in the water pool outside.

Feeder wars!
- a sweet Ruddy Ground Dove power punches the larger Eared Dove off
- a Scrub tanager gives a Bay-headed tanager a talking too
and
- a shinning Saffron finch has a go with the not-so shiny Shiny cowbird

Goliath heron vs Grey crowned cranes in Amboseli National Park. Not sure if this was a fair fight or any #Fighting at all, but one clearly won.

(Sorry about the jerkiness and wind sound.)

P.S. @alan678.bsky.social thanks for the Kingfisher tip!!😜

One of Europe's smallest. The teeny-tiny-pop-of-a-bird. The Common Firecrest.

9 cms long 4–7 grams in weight. Unstoppable in speed. Singing and flashing colour & Me swinging around like crazy trying to get some decent photographs!

Saying a special hello to @robcrank68.bsky.social for his early morning thumbs-up on today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #lunchtime 🙏

A normally ultra-shy female Masked Trogan came to feed and gave us quite a show. Such that even local bird experts were clicking away!

A pair of blackbirds started a family in a next on a tree on our balcony. It was a joy seeing them up so close.

A whole year has passed and as I sit staring at the full moon outside my window, a photograph and a poem I wrote (in alt text) from last year.

Hope you like it :)

#BirdoftheDay a pair of Black Kites over a bare #rock of a mountain of the Altai ranges in #Mongolia. We were there for the sunrise (it was stunning) these birds were the happy bonus.

Also very happy to know the meaning behind #EastCoastKin A delightful idea!

A tale of when summer and winter collided in the garden.

Summer #flowers still blooming with abundance, had an encounter with #frost. The magic of #seasons, #nature, #colour and #light played out. Then was over in just a few moments.

‪Nothing so great here as regards photography, but this European Goldfinch family were at our feeder all the time one early summer. The parents even leaving their baby in our care all day, collecting it only in the evenings.

The Common Chiffchaff is a tiny songbird. Difficult to see let alone photograph as it moves swiftly through the leaves.
This little one made my day as it sat still a few seconds for these photographs.

My #eBird #bird of the day😊

#Wikipedia says, 'Collective nouns for a group of ravens include a "conspiracy", a "treachery", a "rave" and an "unkindness"; most people generally use the more generic "flock".'
An 'unkindness' is really most unkind to these interesting birds.
