Good morning. Apologies for going missing in action yesterday but went out with mates. 🥴 The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #shadesofgrey any bird with grey in their colours and the alternative is #beakopen Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A tall grey heron stands on bright green grass, its long legs mid-stride. The bird’s sleek grey feathers, white neck, and dark crown are clearly visible, and it gazes to the right with its yellow eye and long pointed bill. A blurred wooden fence and soft blue water create a gentle background.

#birdoftheday #ducklings (alternative theme)

A big clump of cute! Ducklings having a nap on shore. There is a story to this one – please take a look in the alt text. 😊

I was sat by the lake in Toronto, watching a mother duck in the water tending to her ducklings. The poor thing looked completely exhausted chasing them around, particularly one that kept going rogue and leaving the group, then rounding them all up and getting them to climb up the rocks onto shore. As a mom, I empathized. She must've sensed that- because she got them all on the grass and settled in one big clump of cute less than 2 feet from me (seen here), then *waddled away* and had a nap at least 10 feet away! I felt very honoured to be trusted with babysitting these little guys while she got some well-deserved rest. 😂

Just discovered #BirdOfTheDay. Here is my contribution of some coots in North Carolina, USA (this was in January 2025; they haven't arrived back here yet for the winter).

Very nice! I have gone to Argentina for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #CootsAndMoorhens with this Red Gartered Coot. Great diversity of Rallidae down there!
A black waterbird with yellow bill and white facial shield, a tiny red spot connecting the shield and the bill. The bird is swimming on very green water and its neck and head are reflected in the water.

Not a photo but a video of a rather hectic family of coots on the River Lea in East London. “Wait up, Mum and Dad!”

#CootsandMoorhens is the #BirdoftheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social and they are just beginning to come back - but from last spring I have these two shots. #Birds 🪶 #Photography #EastCoastKin
An American Coot, out of water on seaweed covered rock. A black coot with white bill and red eyes. Yellow legs with black 'scales'. Head shot of an American Coot, some greass slightly over the head but the read eye and white bill clearly visible. In water, ripples around the front of the coot.

Various views of American Coots, including their sexy coot feet and one instance of Coot Drama(tm) where they're chasing each other just because. Plus one Eurasian Moorhen in Prague

Violet-capped Woodnymph, taken at an eco lodge just outside Rio. A must visit place if ever wanting to do some birding in Rio.

With #BirdOfTheDay being #CootsAndMoorhens, it’s time for a spring day on the Wandle delta and three coots getting into it…

Rob's (@robcrank68.bsky.social) choice for #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CootsAndMoorhens, and the alternative is #Ducklings.

Went to a nearby lake looking for ducklings and came back with this fellow's photo instead.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CootsAndMoorhens and yesterday it was #Swans I almost managed a bit of synchronicity there. Well, close but no cigar.
A Mute Swan on a green pond glides past a preening Coot, standing in the shallows. Some greenery and red flowers are visible on the far bank of the pond.
