Robins are bold and show little fear & will quite often take food from your hand ~ when out wandering with a camera they will fly along any branches alongside or in front of you, it's almost as if they know that photographers carry bird food with them 😜 🪶 🦉 #birdingwales #ukbirding #birds

Squirrel ears are not
quite like snowflakes, but many
are fairly distinct.

Ultra close up of Chips and Gravy today. It is interesting how relaxed they seem around me, happily staying for a wash after their breakfast! #ravens

Good morning bird lovers. The theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #green as I’m from Ireland. A bird with any green plumage or a bird surrounded by greenery. The alternative is #SideEye , any bird giving you side eye. 😁 Good luck! I’ve went with both themes. Taken two days ago #birds #EastCoastKin

A great tit clings to a mossy branch, its plumage vivid against a dark blurred background. The bird’s yellow belly, olive-green back, and blue-grey wings contrast with its black head and white cheeks. Its glossy eye catches the light as it perches upright, showcasing the fine detail and smooth texture of its feathers.

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the Redpoll! 🍂

These tiny finches add a pop of colour with their red crowns and lively calls as they forage in flocks among birch and alder trees.

A winter treat from the north!
