I'm going backwards in time through the sunset. 😂 These cranes were standing on a small hill nearby until they decided to fly over to the field where the flock was gathering. #birds

Got drenched in a surprise downpour, but this Rustic Bunting made it worth it — even with a twig right across its profile. 😅🪶
結構なずぶ濡れで心折れかけましたがこの子が撮れたのでヨシ!枝被りでもヨシ‼️😹

And to round off this morning's walk, I came across this spectacular little female blackcap. #birds

Even blurry kingfisher pics can be spectacular. Here's this morning's female taking off. #blurredbirds #birds

The male kingfisher of the pair I spotted this morning. It has a broader turquoise strip down its back than the female it was with. And look at the colour of that tail. #birds

Spotted a pair of kingfishers on the sea front in Getxo this morning, but didn't catch them close enough together to get them in the same picture. Here's the female. #birds

It's a long way off, but I think that's a kestrel. #birds
