Good Morning BlueSky Folks!
Here is another Picture of a European Robin that I saw while in my Local Park
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
This picture shows a small bird perched on a thin branch surrounded by green leaves. The bird has a distinctive appearance with a bright orange-red breast, a white belly, and olive-green upper parts. Its head is rounded, and it has a small, pointed beak. The bird's eye is dark and prominent, giving it an alert expression. The background is slightly blurred, with a mix of green foliage and darker areas, suggesting a natural, wooded or garden setting. The overall image captures a serene and picturesque moment in nature. This bird is a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), a species well-known for its vibrant orange breast and friendly demeanor in gardens across Europe.

They slap it on the water until the scales and legs come off and then they devour it whole. Great crested grebe. 🪶

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MorningLight a bird bathed in morning sunlight. The alternative is #strength birds showing their power. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A Blue Tit perched on the tip of a small leafy branch, its blue, yellow, and white plumage brightly lit by warm sunlight. The bird faces right in a neat profile pose, showing crisp feather detail and a sharp eye. The background is a smooth, deep green bokeh, giving the scene a calm, natural feel.

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😅

A Eurasian Red Squirrel perched on a tree branch, holding a bundle of dry grass or nesting material in its mouth. The background is soft and out of focus, highlighting the squirrel’s grayish fur and bushy tail. 木の枝にとまったエゾリスが、口に乾いた草や巣材の束をくわえている。背景はぼかされ、灰色がかった体毛やふさふさした尾が際立って見える。

Good Morning BlueSky Folks!
Here is a Picture of a cheeky Grey Squirrel that I saw On Monday
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The picture shows a close-up of a gray squirrel standing on green grass. The squirrel has a bushy tail with a mix of gray and white fur, and its body is primarily gray with some lighter patches. It is looking slightly to the side, with its front paws visible and its ears perked up. The background is a lush, green grassy area, slightly blurred, which keeps the focus on the squirrel. The overall scene appears to be outdoors on a bright day.
