#birdoftheday is another one of the #commonbirds of Marrakech, although perhaps needing a little more vegetation around than House Bunting. Common Bulbul here in the North of Africa lack the yellow undertail of southern populations.

#birdoftheday has to be House Bunting. Ubiquitous even in the most urban parts of central Marrakech. I haven't seen one for many years and it was great to reconnect with them on this, my ninth trip to Morocco.

#birdoftheday today is the Eurasian Blue Tit. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be seeing African Blue Tit, but where?

A Eurasian Sparrowhawk stopped off in very dull, wet conditions. Likely a juvenile male. #birds #birding #birdoftheday

A small herd of Whooper Swans in the South Lincolnshire fens. A few of these later flew in to roost at Willow Tree Fen along with 22 Common Cranes when it was almost dark.

A pair of European Stonechats along the River Welland in beautiful sunshine. The male was unfortunately camera shy.

Tricky to get any sort of photo of the Red-necked Grebe at Bowling Green Marsh @rspb.bsky.social, Topsham as it stayed distant, but managed this. #birdoftheday #birds #birding #ukbirding

Jobs in the Exeter area a couple of weeks ago meant a chance to catch up with a Red-necked Grebe at Bowling Green Marsh @rspb.bsky.social Topsham. Here cruising distantly past some Wigeon and Pintail.

Still getting the hang of #birdsinflight with the Sony RX10iv, but these Red-rumped Swallow shots aren't terrible.
