Come see :)
The Spot-breasted #woodpecker from South America is a stay at home, ant-eating bird, resident across all except a few countries in South America. The male has a red mustache which the female in my photograph lacks but she's a beauty.

(also seeing how #Bluesky 's threaded posting works and is it better than posting multiple shots in a single post😊 )

Interesting stuff from the #Voronoi app. Now im wondering how birds species and numbers correlate to river systems.

From when wishes came true and this Great Egret flew overhead. Close. In superb morning light. On a sky that defined blue.

As cute as the Pygmy Owl is the Middle-spotted Woodpecker. It's bright colours shining even that dim, grey, cold, rainy morning.
A shy, non-migratory bird found only in #Europe, 🤞to see more over winter. #Birds #BirdsSeenin2025 #woodpecker #wildlifephotograohy #nature #BirdTherapy #Slovenia

One of the many many shots we got on an enchanted morning of really tiny, 'sparrow sized' Eurasian Pygmy Owl in #Slovenia a few weeks ago.

Some bird #Mr&Mrs 's. Each reminding me of other human couples I know! :)

To monopod, tripod or handheld when out photographing birds?
I am happiest handheld but that doesnt work for video.
BUT Mono/tri pods slow me down and restrict movement.
Any advice?

When it's a #BirdOnAWire theme, it had to be this...
A tiny, delicate Common Tailorbird sitting on barbed wire, defying all that the wire fence denotes.
More power to birds, said my heart as I took the photograph 😊

In #Oman by the beach, thousands of #GroundedGulls as they waited for the fishing boats to come in. I don't know if the fishermen had spoilt them or they had trained the fishermen to provide them easy meals 😊

A Gull refusing to be part of the #GroundedGulls theme from San Marco Square, #Venice a few years back: I had been excited to have a chance to see the #AcquaAlta phenomenon but when I did it, was a deeply saddening experience.

Talking of #waders here's a Eurasian spoonbill claiming it's place knowing you'll ignore the Black-headed Gulls photobombing it's moment of glory. But then how can you not when it has that hairdo?

This person is reposting my post as his!
Their other posts seem of the same nature.
Should I do something about it? What??
