A sharply focused Eurasian magpie stands alert on a weathered tree stump, its glossy black head and back contrasting with a bright white shoulder and belly. The bird’s pale grey bill and dark, watchful eye are turned slightly to the side, giving it an inquisitive expression. Soft green foliage blurs into the background, isolating the magpie’s striking black-and-white plumage while a few blades of grass sprout from the textured stump beneath its feet.
Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Corvidae any bird of the Corvid family. The alt is #LongNecks any bird with a long neck. Good luck. #birds #photography #ECK
That's a great shot!
A fine looking pair.
A photo of an American Robin (Turdus migratorius) perched in a bush with glossy dark green leaves holding a bright red round berry in its beak. It is a medium-sized songbird with a brown head and back, bright orange breast and belly, speckled throat, dark eyes with white spots above and below them, and a yellow beak. It is facing to the left in diffuse light, surrounded by foliage and clusters of more red berries.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideProfiles
A cormorant (with bonus gull).
For Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme I thought this Cormorant's #SideProfiles from Loch of the Lowes yesterday would suit. The Alt theme is #Robins
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideProfiles, any bird side on to the camera, the Alt theme is #Robins, any Robin will do.
Here's a Songthrush, GS Woodpecker, Treecreeper & Robin from various venues.

Yes, I seldom see them, and when I do it's just the one.
People who use their outside voices in bird hides need locked up.
Alan's @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #photogenic birds you find to be photogenic. The alt is #LightAndShade bird captures with lighting contrast.
I thought this Lapwing by Loch Leven looked rather dapper and certainly very photogenic.
A dapper blue tit perches upright on a rough, moss-flecked branch, its bright yellow chest puffed slightly as if posing for the camera. The bird’s neat blue cap, white cheeks, and bold black eye stripe give it a smart, well-dressed look, while hints of blue on the wings and tail catch the sunlight. Set against a softly blurred green background, the tiny bird appears alert and confident, like a miniature gentleman surveying his garden domain. 🐦🌿
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #photogenic birds you find to be photogenic. The alt is #LightAndShade bird captures with lighting contrast. I’m going with a Blue Tit looking for a Spring partner and perhaps overdoing the Brylcreem. 😁 #birds #photography #ECK

Alan @alan678.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SteppingOut birds captured mid step. The alt theme is #ColourfulCaptures colourful bird or background.
So here's a juvenile Woolly-Necked Stork striding out and a Little Bee-eater showing off its colours.
Love how the toilet appears to be crying out for help.
Two black-and-white wagtails stand on large sunlit rocks along a stony shoreline. The nearer bird balances on one leg taking a step while looking upward, its long tail trailing behind, while a second wagtail perches slightly higher on a rock in the background. Bright light glints off the wet stones and the soft dark background isolates the birds, giving the scene a layered feel of watchful movement along the rocky shore.
Sorry folks haven’t been around as I’m helping my brother with lambing. Notifications are off. Hope you are all well. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SteppingOut birds captured mid step. The alt theme is #ColourfulCaptures colourful bird or background. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
I've posted a picture of this Reed Cormorant before, but with a Hamerkop joining it on the rock, I thought it was a good candidate for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme which is #MixedPairs via @robcrank68.bsky.social
I only wish they were both in focus. 😕
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MixedPairs, photos with pairs of different bird species, the Alt theme is #Finches, any of the Finch species.
Here's a Blue Tit & Goldfinch, Robin & Blue Tit, Blue Tit & Long-tailed Tit & Greenfinch

He's a graceless shit, like his boss.
The nests are incredible.
Nail head, meet hammer.
