Good morning! Wakey Wakey rise and shine. I woke up at 5, skies were completely overcast so no aurora for me. Sun won’t be up till 8, but I doubt there will be much shine. Have a good one! #HolidayRobin

Rob’s theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsOnTheGround and Merlin’s BOTD for me was the Bearded Reedling, so I combined it all in one picture. 🪶 The reedlings are swallowing grit to prepare their digestive system for their winter diet of seeds.
