That Eurasian Hoopoe is looking absolutely stunning perched on that branch! The vibrant orange crest and striking black and white striped wings make it a real showstopper. The way the light catches its peach-colored chest and long, curved beak is just gorgeous.

🪶 Today’s #HolidayRobin is singing from a willow in the morning sun. It also qualifies for the alternative #BirdOfTheDay of #BeaksOpen

A break from the birds, for #SquirrelSaturday a few I’ve seen recently eating hawthorn berries and one I saw through the branches eating pine cones.
