Diving for food is today’s theme, so I’ve got a graceful mallard diving, butt up, a juvie tufted duck going all in, and a seriously happy little little grebe who managed to snag a stickleback all by himself

A photograph of two mallard ducks on a lake. The male mallard is in the front, his head submerged and his but sticking straight up. His mate, mottled brown feathers, is in the back, next to the bank of the lake, trying to ignore her silly partner. A photograph of a young tufted duck in a lake. Yes in, not on. The brown wetlands bird is diving into the lake to grab some yummy algae and fish lunch. Here, he is diving away from the camera. There is a crown of water where his head went into the water. His shoulders and back are arched over the water. His tail is in the water still and water is surging upwards - I believe from his legs pushing down to give him lift. A photograph of a young little grebe. She is in the middle of the lake. She’s just come up, with her catch - a small silver stickleback. A very happy wee bird!

Today’s #bordoftheday theme is #browisbeautiful. It certainly is. I couldn’t get these lesser kestrels all looking the right way, but the encounter in Morocco was still awesome. ❤️

Der #BordOfTheDay von @robcrank68.bsky.social hat heute das alternative Thema #BirdsOnFeeder
Auf einer frei hängenden hölzernen Futtersäule, über die ein Häuschendach, und darauf noch einmal ein kleineres Satteldach gesetzt ist, sitzen zwei Stieglitze. Einer sitzt auf der Sitzfläche vor dem rechteckige. Futterspender, die andere auf dem unteren Satteldach. Im Hintergrund Grün mit hellen Lichtpunkten. Eine Blaumeise sitzt auf dem metallenen Sitzbügel vor einer Futtersäule, von der Seite gesehen, nach vorn gebeugt. Der Schnabel ist geöffnet, ein Teil der Zunge ragt heraus, und im geöffneten Schnabel hängt die Spelze eines Sonnenblumenkernes. Ein Grünfink auf dem metallenen Bügel einer Futtersäule, zeigt sein Rückengefieder, und hat sich, mit weit geöffnetem Schnabel, und zur rechten Bildseite gedrehtem Kopf, weit nach vorn gebeugt. An der rechten Bildseite erscheint die Flügelsüitze eines sich nähernden Vogels. Eine junge Blaumeise auf dem metallenen Sitzbügel einer Futtersäule, von der Seite gesehen, schaut geradeaus, in Richtung rechter Bildseite.

#Morocco 2025
The Willow warbler showing of its #wings and beautiful yellow plumage. Definitely gained extra respect for "our" birds seeing how harsh the environments they migrate through are.
