A bird perched on a horizontal branch, looking downward at something. It is mostly yellow-green overall, with some black feathers poking through on the wings and tail. Its feet and eyes are black, and its slightly heavy bill is black on top and greyish below. Her head is arched back, half-open bill pointed skyward, and her wings are half-spread and flattened out horizontally.

A Red-tailed Hawk in Scottsdale, Arizona a fortnight ago @britishnatureguide.bsky.social #BirdsSeenIn2026

photo of a Southern Rockhopper Penguin in mid air having just jumped off a small ledge which is on the path from the sea to the colony which is at the top of the cliff it is almost front on showing its white front , large pink feet and flippers (wings) which are out to the side to steady it it is looking down its black face and red eyes a study of concentration. The penguins exited the sea on a shelf, climbed up a steepish path to wash under a fresh water stream then came along an up and down path where I was sitting , completely unfazed to have a human nearby then climbed a second steep path to the colony at the top Canon R5 254mm f/7.1 1:3200s ISO 800

#SteppingOut .....or perhaps more like launching off with gay abandon 🤷‍♀️

My copy arrived today, a fantastic regional avifauna - which marginally intersects with my patch. Favourite page so far details an amazing one-off seabird displacement; illustrated with a potentially unique UK agonistic encounter... #UKBirding

OMG, we saw a pair of Resplendent Quetzal, nest building. Feeling very blessed.

Quetzal means beautiful in the
Mayan culture.

Much excitement as they’ll be hanging around for the next 40 days or more.

The European roller is famous for its bright blue and turquoise feathers, which make it one of the most colorful birds in Europe. It gets its name from its acrobatic courtship flights, where it performs rolling and diving movements in the air. The species migrates long distances: breeds in Europe and western Asia but spends winter in Africa, south of the Sahara.

A close up of a black-crowned night heron perched in a tree above the walkway at an Airbnb property.

I saw more than 40 species of birds from the property of the Airbnb, but none closer than this black-crowned heron perched in a tree literally steps from my door. Texas USA.

A photograph of a small bird that is perched on a thin branch of a willow tree. The bird is facing towards the camera showing off its off-white chest; it has darker olive green head with a distinctive pale eye stripe. Its head is looking up to the left as viewed and is surrounded by blurred willow branches with soft furry catkins just showing through. Taken on a sunny day with a bright blue sky backdrop.

A beautiful day and lovely to see a pair of Willow Warblers... this one was basking in the sunshine as it looked up at its mate on the branch above. 🤍 🪶 🕊️
