Regrettably lame photo of a wood duck, best i could do as it decided to separate from geese & hide among grass/twigs when i went to shoot. Had been swimming along with several geese, perhaps as cover from the hawk that was circling nearby
Bit of creek with snowy banks, grasses & twigs visible, plus one wood duck sort of hiding among the grass/twigs

Not sure what these white birds are, swans i guess but hard to tell at the distance/in the dark. Just passing through, there 2 days ago, gone today
Several white birds, maybe swans? or snow geese?, on a lake with snow-lined banks in SE Minnesota. Canada geese both in foreground & against the farther bank

Image of the cover of an edition of the novel Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (audio book apparently? w/e i like the image). It shows a wavy line suggesting a river, curving among drawings of trees & flowers on the banks of the river. There are also words indicating title/author/readers/edition (Naxos Complete Classics)

find you a movie with a hat & a brooch & a pterodactyl, too:
Still from the movie Airplane! (Abraham/Zucker/Zucker, 1980). An air traffic controller who has been asked by Lloyd Bridges what he makes of a certain report, takes the paper report & says, "I can make a hat, a brooch, a pterodactyl" while forming those shapes from the paper. The words "I can make a hat, a broach, a pterodactyl" are printed on the image

two beautiful photos; adding alt text. IDs of birds & trees due to OP, hope I haven’t garbled in alt-texting
A goldfinch perched in branches of goat willows Three fieldfares (a kind of large thrush) among hawthorn shrubbery; two of the birds are roosted (lower-middle & -right), the third (upper left) is just landing. The main color of the hawthorns is shades of brown; red berries are scattered throughout

Still from No Country for Old Men of Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) grinning during the "if the rule you followed" speech. Probably grinning b/c of recollection of delicious turkey dinner

adding alt-text
Painting of a dramatic snow covered hill-/cliffside. Foreground has rising land with thinly/moderately scattered trees, mostly bare deciduous but some evergreen; in the background the hillside becomes rocky cliffs, with a deep canyon splitting the cliffs in the left-middle. Snow covers the ground and coats the cliffsides; wispy clouds swirling above the cliffs show swirling wind at work

painting of a clump of red poppies with green stalks, against a white background. no vase or other artifact is visible, at a guess, it looks like the poppies may be growing wild (though rather densely clumped for that)

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it

Technically this seems to be a single rather than an LP, sue me
Photo of the cover of the single with the C.W. McCall song Convoy. Shows 3 or 4 semi-truck cabs arrayed on the bottom haloed by yellow-white streaks, plus images of Kris Kristofferson & (must be) Ali McGraw (looks rather like Jamie Lee Curtis tho)

the immortal figrin d'an and the modal nodes, appearing nightly at a hive of scum and villainy near you!
The cantina band from Star Wars (George Lucas, 1977, sometimes known by alt title (fie!)). Three humanoids w/ bulbous, bony-looking heads & sharp black suits play what appears to be 2 wind instruments (L & R sides) and a keyboard-or-string instrument (middle)

not quite the same b/c lacks the haunted aspect (mostly), but for "around the coast of north atlantic islands", Tim Robinson's Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage is a goodie:

(vol 2 also good but that's interior of the island. occasional ghosts hither & yon in both vols)
Photo of the cover of a vintage edition of Tim Robinson's non-fiction tour of the coast of Aran, "Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage" The cover shows a dolphin in water by a stylized cliff(?--something rocky), with sky around
