Time for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LongLegsAndNeck any birds with both items listed.
If you're going to perch on a lamp post you should at least look good. White Stork from 2023 in the local park in Herts.

There may have been thousands of birds at Ouse Wash RSPB but todays visit was more memorable due to the dead Swans littering the place Around 25 maybe 30 noted Sad to see And with a Buzzsrd feasting on one of 'em it could be a bleek winter ahead

Worrying reports of bird flu (avian influenza) are coming in, including an outbreak in Whooper Swans in the Fens. Other waterbirds are also being affected, and cases are rising.

@laziobirder.bsky.social hi Brendon, I've been to Ouse Washes today & it's a bit grim in front of the hides from Stockdale. 11 Whooper, 1 each of Canada & Greylag all dead. The worrying part is the amount of Marsh Harriers feeding on the carcasses.
