Good morning, BlueSky! For today's theme of #BirdoftheDay #OddCouples, I am sharing a ruddy turnstone and a sharp-tailed sandpiper from Keālia Pond, Maui, December 2025. 🪶📷
In the shallow water at the pond's edge, we see two medium size shorebirds. On the left is a ruddy turnstone facing the camera with orange legs and a mottled, black and brown back and collar--over a white chest and abdomen. On the right is a sharp-tailed sandpiper which is in profile. S/he is mostly tan and light brown with a white eyebrow, black beak, and 3 pointy tail feathers showing. The background is flat, light blue waters.

A high-angle, close-up photograph of a lush, dense garden bordering a dark pond. A large, gnarled tree branch arches over the top of the frame, forming a natural archway. The scene beyond features a vibrant mix of green foliage and a prominent central tree with leaves turning bright red and salmon pink, indicating the early stages of autumn. Tall, feathery ornamental grasses are visible to the right. The water below reflects the colours of the trees and plants, conveying a tranquil and slightly moody atmosphere.

The majority of Britons think important places for nature should have stronger protections.

Only 2% think protections should be weakened... yet that’s where ministers keep pushing.
A vertical split graphic. The left side shows a woodland scene with a tall blue bar labelled “64% want stronger protections for nature.” The right side, showing scrubby ground and a dull riverside, has a tiny blue bar labelled “Only 2% believe protections should be weakened.” The heading at the top reads “Voters”.
