There's a tradition that never gets old: our ex-orphans returning home after giving birth, just to share the joy with the Keepers who raised them. This time of year is full of these reunions - mothers bringing their wild-born babies back to say hello. That's what your support creates. 🐘💚

Looks like this little Ezo Squirrel is busy bringing in fresh nesting material — maybe remodeling its home for the winter? 😊🐿️
冬支度でしょうか?でもこの子たち冬眠しないんですよね😅

For Rob’s theme #HeadShots I chose two regular visitors to our balcony: one of the three Eurasian Jays and the juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker, who is not so juvenile anymore these days. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #ThursJay

Good Morning Friends

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is all about #HeadShots, any Birds 'Close Up Capture'.
The Alternative Birds are #Swans.

I've gone with a Cormorant, Whooper Swan, Glossy Ibis & Little Egret with lunch, captured at various venues.
