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 robin on a cold winter morning appears as a small, plump bird, roughly 5 to 6 inches long [1]. Its posture is often fluffed up into a soft, round ball to trap air and insulate against the cold, making it look especially soft and cuddly.

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

Oystercatcher on the prowl

#ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds
An Oystercatcher walks directly towards the camera on a grassy meadow, with one foot raised. The head is turned slightly to right of frame, and the one visible red eye looks to camera, soil is stuck to its bright orange bill where it has been probing for worms.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paddling, birds standing in water, the Alt theme is #Robins, please use #ForJanet Hashtag if posting a Robin - set by @robcrank68.bsky.social - an elegant little Egret for today's main theme 😍 🪶🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #EastCoastKin
Photo taken at Forest Farm Nature Reserve ~ South Wales The Little Egret is a small, elegant, pure white bird, often seen wading in shallow water. It stands about 55-65 cm tall, with a slender, delicate build and a long neck that often curves in an 'S' shape. Striking, solid white feathers that appear very bright against water or green foliage. Beak ;- Long, very thin, and black. Legs: Long and black. Feet: Distinctive yellow or greenish-yellow, which stand out against their black legs. Breeding Season: During the breeding season, they have delicate, flowing white plumes (feathers) on their head, chest, and back. They move gracefully, often wading slowly in shallow water or standing still for long periods before suddenly stabbing at the water with their sharp, dagger-like beak to catch small fish or crabs. Commonly found in coastal areas, estuaries, and shallow, wet, inland environments. Sound: They are generally quiet, but may make a harsh, croaking sound if disturbed. Similar Birds: It is often confused with the Great White Egret, which is much larger, has a yellow/orange bill, and lacks the bright yellow feet.

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!

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
