We don't often get snow on the North Norfolk coast, so when we do, a few #bright red apples are a welcome present for the garden birds.

Coots or Moorhens or Ducklings? Why can’t the #BirdOfTheDay theme ever be gulls? it would make it much easier for me! @robcrank68.bsky.social
@alan678.bsky.social
I only have one really bad picture of a #duckling, but I guess it will have to do 🦆🤷‍♀️
