How many Caspian Gulls in Brixham Harbour this weekend? Are there 3 different birds here or I’m just spending too long staring at blurry photos! Pic 1 from this evening, 2 from Friday, 3 & 4 yesterday taken by @alikingbrixham.bsky.social and @shiphaybirder.bsky.social #devonbirds #ukbirding

The Alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay today is a Robin #ForJanet ~ Here is a puffed-up little one captured during the snow earlier this month at Garwnant (Brecon) 🥰🪶🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birdphotography #robin #ukwildlife #bluesky #naturephotography #birdsofbluesky

A Manchester-based Siskin to thank you for reading my blog. Averaging about 1800 reads per month at the moment, including a regular reader from Uzbekistan (or a VPN)! It's 1798 more per month than I expected when I started and I really appreciate every read. #birds #ukbirding #BirdsSeenIn2026

Dropped into Whitemoor Haye to see the long-staying Slavonian grebes and got more than I'd bargained for - a bonus merlin @birdguides.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #UKbirding.

I was all fingers and thumbs when taking this shot and I'm still kicking myself that it isn't sharp!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit and watch a local Kingfisher. I absolutely love these Birds and this is my freehand wire sculpture #birdart #kingfisher #ukbirding #birdart #wirebirdsculpture

One of many highlights for our two @shetlandwildlife.bsky.social groups today - a beautiful Waxwing feeding on apples in a garden in Voe up in the north Mainland of Shetland. Thanks Julia!

Unusually calm conditions at Cheddar reservoir made locating the newly-arrived Red-necked Grebe a formality. A couple of Black-necked Grebes were also on show, while 5 Greater Scaup (3 drakes) came in close and a bonus adult Med Gull dropped by. Proper winter birding in a chilly easterly! #ukbirding

Went to Staines reservoir on a dull day. Greater scaup pair were close in. Great northern diver and black-necked grebes were middle distance and the lesser scaup drake was in another galaxy! Stopped at Woodoaks farm on the way back where the little owl was perched in its usual tree. #ukbirding

One of the highlights of my walks is the winter thrushes chattering away everywhere! We have always done particularly well for fieldfares but this year we have as many Redwings as you can see from the photos, trees full of them. #ukbirding
