So pleased to have finally spotted the local barn owls and even luckier that they have taken to hunting in the field next to my house. 🦉

Been neglecting #BirdOfTheDay for a few days. Today's theme of #BirdsInFlight, as chosen by @robcrank68.bsky.social, is a great excuse to share this shot taken over the weekend at Lake Williams, York County, PA amongst the gulls and geese. 🦉🐦

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme which is #BirdsInFlight, and the Alt theme is #Finches set by @robcrank68.bsky.social ~ Chosen a Gannet from a trip to Grassholm Island 🪶🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birdphotography #ukwildlife #bluesky #naturephotography #birdsofbluesky #EastCoastKin
#birds #photography
Photo taken from a boat at Grassholm Island - Pembrokeshire - West Wales Imagine a large, graceful seabird, pure white with striking black tips on its long, pointed wings, like a big, elegant dart slicing through the air, often gliding effortlessly with slow, powerful wingbeats, its pointed beak and tail making it look streamlined as it searches the sea for fish before plunging like a missile into the water from great heights, an incredible sight and sound, truly a 'jewel of the sea'.

Good afternoon Bluesky Friends! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsInFlight featuring a Red Kite, Black Headed Gull, Canadian Goose, and Common Buzzard.Alt theme: #Finches. Captured on a Canon EOS R50.
The image captures a Red Kite (Milvus milvus) in soaring flight against a clear, deep blue sky. Key features: - Viewed from below and slightly behind, with the bird gliding effortlessly on long, angled wings that are distinctly narrow and pointed, showing "fingered" primary feathers at the tips. - Deeply forked tail, twisted slightly for steering—a classic Red Kite trait—spread to reveal the V-shape. - Rich rufous-brown body and upperwings with mottled patterning, contrasting pale head with dark eye streak and hooked beak. - Pale patches visible on the underwing primaries, adding to the distinctive contrast. - Wings held in a slight dihedral (upward angle), body streamlined with legs tucked in. The lighting is bright and even, emphasizing feather details and creating a clean, dramatic silhouette against the cloudless sky. This is a beautiful, dynamic shot that showcases the Red Kite's elegant, acrobatic flight style typical of this European raptor. The image is a clear, close-up photograph of a single bird in flight over a body of water. The bird is a Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in winter/non-breeding plumage. Key features include: - Mostly white head with a small, distinct dark spot behind the eye - Bright red bill and red legs/feet (legs dangling down as it flies) - White body and underparts - Pale grey upper wings with prominent black tips on the primary feathers - Wings fully extended in mid-flap, showing the classic gull wing shape The bird is flying low and directly toward the camera, captured from a slightly low angle. The background is softly blurred water with greenish-brown tones and subtle ripples, giving a calm, natural outdoor setting (likely a lake, river, or coastal area). The lighting is natural daylight, with good detail on the feathers and no harsh shadows. Overall, it's a striking, dynamic wildlife shot that beautifully captures the gull's graceful motion. The image is a dynamic wildlife photograph of a Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) in flight, captured low over a body of water with a lush, green forested background. Key details: - The goose is in active flight with wings fully extended in a powerful downstroke, feathers spread and showing detailed layering on the underwings (pale grey flight feathers with darker coverts). - Classic Canada Goose markings: black head and long neck with a distinctive white "chin strap" patch, brown-grey body, white undertail and vent area, and black tail. - The bill is open wide as if honking or calling loudly—a common vocal behavior—revealing the pinkish interior. - Legs and webbed feet are tucked back against the body. - It's flying directly toward the camera from a slightly low angle, creating an engaging, almost confrontational perspective. The background features calm water in the foreground (with subtle ripples and reflections) and dense, out-of-focus green foliage/trees behind, suggesting a natural wetland or lake setting. Lighting is soft natural daylight, likely overcast, giving even illumination without harsh shadows. This is an expressive, action-packed shot that captures the bold personality and vocal nature of this familiar waterfowl species. The image is a striking wildlife photograph of a Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) in soaring flight against a clear, cloudless deep blue sky. Key details: - The bird is viewed from below and slightly to the side, banking gently to the right as it glides effortlessly. - Broad, rounded wings with distinctly "fingered" primary feathers at the tips, held in a shallow V-shape (typical dihedral posture for buzzards). - Dark brown upperparts and head, contrasting with paler, mottled underparts and underwings that show subtle barring and a darker patch near the "wrist" (carpal area). - Short, fanned tail with faint banding. - Sharp, hooked beak with a pale cere, and intense dark eyes giving a focused, predatory expression. The lighting is bright natural sunlight, highlighting feather textures and creating a clean silhouette against the vibrant sky. Overall, it's a dynamic, minimalist shot that captures the grace and power of this common European raptor in mid-soar.

Morning Melbourne!

Perfect early morning light for a spectacular display of flight, feathers, and frills.

Image of a Sulphur-crested cockatoo set against a treed background. It’s with wings and tail-feathers fanned as it decelerates, feet out, and comb in full presentation mode in preparedness for landing. For once, its beak is closed.

Morning Melbourne! 🥶

As we slide back into some cold & wet early spring weather, here’s a Kookaburra doing its best imitation of of a sloth.

Image of Laughing kookaburra with its wings fully extended and flying directly towards the camera. From this angle, its head & dark ringed eyes gives it the impression of a sloth. A sloth it is not.

Morning Melbourne: under the weather here… literally & figuratively.

So, what better way to feel better than with two Gang-gangs…

Image of two gorgeous female Gang-gang cockatoos. One is already perched on a branch and is reacting at the approach of the second gliding in, wings spread, for landing on the end of the branch. Action shot of two brilliant iconic Australian birbs.
