Good afternoon. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge , any bird at the edge of a body of water. The alternative is #pigeons I’ve went with a European Shag standing on a rocky outcrop at the edge of the coast. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A European Shag stands alert on dark, seaweed-covered rocks at the water’s edge. Sunlight highlights its brown plumage, slender hooked bill, and webbed feet. Foamy waves and soft blue water blur in the background, creating a strong contrast with the textured rocks and the bird’s sleek profile.

#ontheedge is apparently where this pair(?) of common redshanks find the best food, they looked rather cold as the wandered along the mudflat on the river Thames, a dull afternoon a few days ago #BirdoftheDay #birds #ukbirds
two common redshanks, with a light spotted underside, dark spotted back, bright red legs and beak, walk along the waters edge on a mudflat.

Our picture is a close-up shot that captures the corner of a distinctly designed building. The structure is primarily composed of geometric shapes, a prominent feature is its triangular glass panels held together by black framing. Through the glass, reflections of a brick building and internal structural elements like pipes and lighting fixtures can be seen. Adjacent to the glass sections is a solid panel with a textured, bluish-grey surface intersected by gold lines. The surface seems to have a pattern resembling marbled or crackled texture, giving it depth and dimension. The background reveals a clear, bright blue sky, adding contrast to the angular lines and modern design of the building. The picture evokes a sense of modern design and architectural innovation. The geometric shapes and the reflective quality of the glass create a dynamic and visually interesting scene. The composition, with its close-up perspective and vivid colors, lends a sense of clarity and precision. The overall atmosphere is clean and contemporary, with a hint of urban sophistication. Finally, today’s picture is finished with a clean, simple, white border frame.

I don't usually have photos for #BirdOfTheDay, but I like this one #OnTheEdge. No idea what it is (some sort of duck?), from a park in Johannesburg, South Africa.

#birds #birding #birdphotography #photography #PhotographersUnited #nature #outdoors #EastCoastKin
A duck facing away, to a pond with ripples and reflection of the sky and trees on the opposite side. The duck stands on a rock at the water's edge. The pond is pale blue; the rock and ground are reddish. The duck has a reddish-brown head and back, but with half white and dark greenish-blue feathers on its wings and tail. Its legs and feet are bright red.

Our photograph centers on a large, solitary tree standing on the far bank of a calm river near my home here in Ireland. The tree dominates the scene, tall, wide, and commanding, like an ancient sentinel rooted in place. It is completely bare of leaves, its branches spreading outward in a maze of thin, twisting lines that resemble veins against the sky. The trunk is thick and sturdy, but what makes it striking is the heavy growth of ivy or climbing vines wrapped around it. These vines spiral upward and cling to the tree’s body, giving it a textured, almost creature like form, part tree, part shadowy silhouette. The branches reach out in all directions, some drooping and some stretching toward the heavens, creating a dramatic, skeletal shape. With no foliage to soften it, the tree appears both vulnerable and powerful: a living structure carved out of winter. Behind it, the sky is filled with swirling clouds painted in shades of lavender, soft pink, muted purple, and touches of dusky blue. The clouds catch the fading light, giving the whole scene a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere, almost as if dusk is sliding into night, or a storm has just passed. Across the horizon, behind the tree, a line of low houses is visible in the distance, tiny and ordinary compared to the imposing presence of the tree. There is also a single telephone pole off to the left, but nothing draws the eye away from the tree at the center. In the foreground, the river reflects the sky’s purples and blues. The water is smooth with gentle ripples, making the surface shimmer like brushed metal. The overall mood feels quiet, slightly melancholic, and deeply atmospheric, anchored by the striking silhouette of the lone, leafless tree. Finally, our picture today is finished off with a simple white border frame.
