Time for Rob’s #HolidayRobin A Rock and Robin. It was on the beach enjoying some early morning sun. I’m going to walk dog shortly and it’s pouring down. 🙄 Will hopefully be on late afternoon. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A European robin stands on a small rock, its bright orange-red breast glowing in the sunlight. The bird faces left with its beak slightly open, showing crisp details of its brown wings, pale belly, and slender legs. The background is softly blurred sand in warm tones, making the robin the clear focal point.

Winter has arrived early thanks to winds directly from the Arctic. Some parts of the UK will see significant snow this week, but many other areas will just be sunny.

What were your #Top5Birds or bird moments from the past week?

Mine, in Cambridgeshire:
1. First of year Cattle Egrets
2. Common Cranes flying in towards dusk
3. Big flock of Fieldfare chattering overhead
4. Surprise sighting of a Bittern in flight
5. Huge numbers of Lapwing taking flight
🪶
Square graphic design. Pale mint green with blue/grey wavy-edged bands at top and bottom. Portrait format photo on the middle left with grey/ blue text to the right. Photo shows: Close up of a Western Cattle Egret. This white bird of the heron family has a yellow beak and black legs, and has a hunched appearance. The bird is facing to the right of the frame and has a blurred brown background. The bird is standing on a cow’s back, although the rest of the cow is out of frame. Caption below the photo reads: Western Cattle Egret Text on the right reads: #Top5Birds What were your best bird moments from the past week?

Holly Blue still on the wing in Oxfordshire. It's not even the first butterfly I've seen today, the other being a Peacock. @oxonbirder.bsky.social

Photographing migrant Short Eared Owls always runs the risk of you getting a mind blowing mid-air image of a female Kestrel (who isn't best pleased about an intruder on her patch), flying up to have a game of tug of war on a Vole, with said Owl...

This Blue-winged Teal was showing off his fabulous namesake wing patches in flight. #BirdoftheDay #DucksOutOfWater #EastCoastKin
A medium-sized brown duck with a white stripe on its face, intricate black patterning on its body, and large baby-blue patches on its wings is in flight, its wings outstretched and up. There is out of focus green and brown vegetation in the background.

Little birds weren’t too concerned about this red-shouldered hawk, but the squirrels sure noticed 🪶

Today marks one year since I joined Bluesky ~ Thank you to all that have followed my photography journey 🤩 hope I can keep delivering worthy content for the next 12 months ahead ~ see ALT 🪶 🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birds #ukwildlife #naturephotography #birdwatching #birdsofbluesky #bluesky
This was the first time ever in Spring this year to see Bullfinches visiting the garden and they obviously had a nest close by due to the amount of visits the pair were making on a daily basis, they were so frequent that they became known as Bertie & Bertha ~ was hoping to see the fledglings but never saw them visit ~ posted my favourite photo of Bertie to mark my 12 months on Bluesky as the pair were such special visitors this year. The bullfinch has a distinctive plump, rounded body and a proportionally large, "bull-headed" appearance. It's a small bird, about 16cm (6 inches) long, similar in size to a common finch. It has a very short, stout, and thick black beak, which is specifically adapted for cracking seeds and eating fruit buds. The feathers are soft and dense, providing insulation. The most striking visual features (for those with partial sight) are the sharp colour contrasts. Males have a vivid pinkish-red breast and cheeks that contrast sharply with a black cap on the head and a grey back. Both sexes have a bright white patch on their rump that is particularly noticeable when they fly. The female is a duller, more subdued grey brown with a dusty pinkish tinge on her underside.

Good morning, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #paddling birds standing or walking in shallow water. The alternate is #yellow birds with any yellow colouring. I’ve went with paddling and this Little Egret. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A striking white egret stands gracefully in shallow, dark blue water. Its slender neck is arched elegantly, and the bird’s bright plumage glows in the sunlight, contrasting sharply against the deep, shadowed background. Its reflection is visible in the still water below, creating a serene and minimalist scene.
