@robcrank68.bsky.social set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme and it is #Reflections and the alternative is #LongTails

So here's one of each....

Female Mallard and a Pied Wagtail... details in Alt Text
Shot at Clare Castle Country Park in February 2025 this female mallard with her beautifully patterned light and dark brown plumage is perfectly reflected in the water of the moat Taken in March 2020 this beautiful little black and white bird is foraging for insects on the roof of an extension to our house. It's tail is as long as it's body and it does indeed wag it !

It's #BlueskyMonday. I made so many images of this strikingly beautiful black crowned night heron on a recent day in our wildlife refuge. I wasn't that far away and it was posing so I kept opening the shutter. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #herons #birds #birdphotography

Morning All !

Day 2 of #MyPhotoAdvent2025, a photo a day of my favourite captures of 2025... with an explanation in Alt Text of my reason for choosing it.

#ArtAdventCalendar #BlueSkyMonday #Mull #Staffa #Scotland #Photography #EastCoastKin
I chose this one because this is a place that I had long wished to visit, in May 2025 I finally made it. This is the Isle of Staffa, which is just off the coast of Mull. The photo shows the massive basalt columns that the island is famous for and 'Boat Cave' (one of several caves on the island including the world famous Fingal's Cave). On the horizon and island called 'The Dutchman's Cap can just be made out.

A magic rainbow moment, walking from the UK Gloucestershire village of Shipton Moyne to Tetbury. A wonderful weekend Cotswolds memory.

Layered waterfalls cascade into pale blue pools, framed by leaves and warm sunlight filtering through the dense tropical forest.

A black and white photo of two silhouetted hikers, dwarfed by Pumori’s immense sunlit icy slopes as swirling clouds drift upward, highlighting the contrast between human fragility and the mountain’s overwhelming power.

Couldn't resist taking this fungus along a path following the River Dart near Totnes, Devon, UK. I think it's Honey Fungus, Armillaria Mellea, but I am not really an expert.
