Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is thrushes. Having posted a European thrush species I thought I should post a North American species. A male Mountain Bluebird with food for its young.

Long exposure of storm clouds over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario at dawn.

Part of my #GettingBackToBasics project using a small set of manual focus prime lenses and making images the way I used to in the 1970s and 80s.

Two minute exposure of storm clouds moving up Colpoy's Bay, Ontario at dawn. Part of my Getting Back to Basics project using a small set of manual focus prime lenses and making images the way I used to in the 1970s and 80s. In this case an ultra wide angle, one of which has been in my kit since the late 1970s.

Today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #waders. A Common Snipe at the Seaforth Nature Reserve in Merseyside.

It's a #ThrowbackThursday post from a late autumn in the late 1980s photographed on #Kodachrome.

A small Zebra Jumping Spider. Unloved by many, I think they're quite cute in their Halloween Zebra costume. For the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved.

A Raccoon on the #BrucePeninsula, Ontario. Unloved by many people, they're opportunists who were around long before humans invaded their space. For the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved.

Today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #sparrows. A White-crowned Sparrow on the #BrucePeninsula, Ontario during autumn migration. The bird will have raised young in the Arctic and now could be travelling as far as Mexico for the winter.

Bathing juvenile House Sparrow. An unloved species with a lot of people but one of my most published. For the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved.

It also works for the alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme #blurry.

A juvenile House Sparrow bathing in a garden pond. One of my published photos of House Sparrows but I no longer remember the details. Possibly a magazine article on gardening for wildlife.
