Just had to keep the butterfly theme going now that #Butterflyweek has ended 😪. A pop of blue from this Common Blue. Happy Monday everyone

a bright blue butterfly, wings open, a fine black edge to its wings, followed by a white frill. Its body is a gorgeous fluffy blue and its antennae are black and white stripes. It is sate on a large green leaf

#BirdoftheDay #birds that are #colourful or #autumnal
#EastCoastKin #photography #birdphotography #StunDay

I think this bird is both colourful + autumnal. Stunning in fact. Did u know a group of pheasants is called a nye, one theory being the old English word for a brood is an eye.

a male pheasant standing upright + side-on on a grassy mound, its long feather tails arching behind it. In the distance fluffy white sheep can be seen slightly out of focus grazing in another field

a close up of the head of a male pheasant. He has a broad white collar like a vicar, a black neck + a large vivid red patch around its eye. Its beak is slightly booked + quite large. Its shoulders are visible with its patchwork of orange, yellow + black feathers

Good morning everyone. Time for #BirdOfTheDay , the theme is #colourful and the alternative is your favourite #Autumnal or #Fall bird capture. I’ve chosen a Eurasian Jay with its beautiful colours. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A close-up of a Eurasian jay standing on a mossy stone edge among small green plants. The bird has warm brown plumage with a pale face, a black moustache stripe, and striking blue and black bars on its wing. It gazes downward with a curious expression, surrounded by softly blurred green foliage in the background.

🫂 it is very difficult to stay positive in our world today for sure. We all need more fluffy borbs in our lives. 😊

Sounds perfect apart from the weather. But as the big yin once said "there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing"

🤣🤣 loving your enthusiasm for the borbness

a mossy green carpet covers the woodland floor where light spills over the surface creating shadow and light between the tall, straight trunks of the spruce trees, vertical lines as far as the eye can see

#BirdoftheDay #birds 🪶 that have #black on them

I have chosen the cutest fluffballs in the garden - the Long Tailed Tits, one in full borb-mode

#photography #birdphotography #wildlife #nature #photographersofBlueSky

a long tailed tit in a purposeful pose sitting slightly askew on a branch, head leaning forwards, tail held out straight to the left looking as if it is about to shoot off

a long-tailed tit in full borb mode showing off its pretty plumage: its silvery grey breast and mallon streak with black eyebrows and back and a black band running the length of its wing and tail. then it has salmon coloured highlights under its belly, on its side and above its eye like eye-shadow. It is sat on bare branches against a soft green backdrop

Good Morning Everyone.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about the colour #Black, so that's any bird with Black on it's Head/Body.

The Alternative are Robins.

I'm going with a Kestrel, Great Tit, Bearded Tit & Northern Shoveler

Una strada acciotolata del villaggio di Petrella Guidi (Rimini) fiancheggiata, sulla sinistra, dalle mura del castello e sulla destra dalle abitazioni in pietra. Di una casa in particolare si vedono le file di coppi che ne ricoprono il tetto e il comignolo, leggermente in pendenza.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #character. This male Common Kingfisher alternated between showing off or ignoring me while I sat in a canvas hide (blind) a few feet away. Sometimes it would fish from the roof of the hide.

I have started wearing a mask with headphones in so i can listen to books which is fine unless I'm too engaged with the storyline. I just can't switch off!

#BirdoftheDay @alan678.bsky.social #birds 🪶 with #Character #EastCoastKin #photography #photo #birdphotography

Went with this young Great Spotted Woodpecker that I was playing peekaboo with

a woodpecker with black and white head and a vivid red patch under its tail. It is sat upright against a tree facing the camera, so the red patch is very visible

the side of the head of the woodpecker is all that is visible as it pokes out around the side of the tree trunk its eye focussed on me

the woodpecker now on the other side of the tree, its claws clinging on to the bark of the tree, its head turned to one side as it stares me down

Wow! So atmospheric. Can almost imagine the hounds of the baskervilles emerging menacingly through that fog
