Couldn’t let an #AlphabetChallenge go by without a bird photograph from me! For #WeekVforVowels here’s an Osprey overhead. Double points?!
(Is no adjectives or adverbs really a thing? What about unloved?! 😮)

Nice set of images for #BirdOfTheDay Rob. By the look going between these two Jackdaws they could only be #Mr&Mrs! 😉😂

Hope your trip is going well and thanks for continuing #BirdOfTheDay while you’re away. #birdonawire is a good one - here’s a Reed Bunting, a Swallow and a Whitethroat from me.

Lovely image of a thrush Alan for your #BirdOfTheDay theme. Here are some of the various #Thrushes I've seen - Song Thrush, Redwing, Fieldfare and Blackbird.

Good theme today Rob and your shots capture it really well.
I didn't think I had anything rounder than Waxwings full of winter berries but this Robin is giving them a run for their money!

Nice image and theme Alan. For #BirdOfTheDay #mottled hope these (Song - I think) Thrushes qualify.

Glasgow’s former Odeon cinema - neglected and run down maybe, but never unloved by Glaswegians.

Doing his washing in a park in Nice, France - one of the most affluent and chic places in the world. Still wonder what the back story was.

Can’t get much greyer than a grey heron and your ‘greyt’ image shows this all too well. For #BirdOfTheDay #shadesofgrey the seriously undernamed Grey Wagtail. What were they looking at when it was first named?? 🤷‍♂️
