Thanks Alan - Iβm surprised too but I think they are a seriously overlooked wee bird.

What a #GreyDay! (One for the teenagers!) Thatβs a great shot Alan for your #BirdOfTheDay theme.
This Dunnock was showing off its grey breast and collar in our garden.

Thank you Alan
Encouraged by the #ECK daily challenges I think this is my first post for #Scape & #ColorADay #BWFri.
I hadnβt realised how dramatic this would look in B&W.

Nice set to illustrate your #TwigsAreUs #BirdOfTheDay theme Rob. Siskins are such lovely wee birds.
Hereβs one of our local Dippers on a twig.

Iβm looking forward to seeing a #PerfectlyPerched Swallow and a #Bluesky like this again soon.
A perching Song Thrush is perfect for your #BirdOfTheDay themes Alan.

β¦.. or just dancing β¦! π
Thanks Rob
Presumably they were just called Hoppers at first?
Great capture - looks like itβs dancing!
Wow Rob - what a set for your #WingsOpenNotFlying & B&W themes for #BirdOfTheDay - Iβve not heard of any of them! Hereβs my lowly offering of 2 Cormorants having a tussle - although there are 4 wings open!

For #RockinTuesday this is a view of Garron Point near Stonehaven. This is the end of the visible section of the highland boundary fault, where it enters the North Sea.

Morning Alan - nice double dipper for your #BirdOfTheDay today! Here's a Jackdaw #Corvidae checking whether its garden feeders have been topped up!

Thank you Sheena.
Nice #BirdOfTheDay theme and images to start the week Rob - thank you.
For #SideProfiles this handsome male Chaffinch looked stunning against the clear blue sky.

I took this image a few years ago as I was struck by the juxtaposition of the young, loving couple, sharp in the foreground against the blurred, older lone woman in the background.

Nice image Alan. For today's #BirdOfTheDay #SteppingOut theme this Black-tailed Godwit and Redshank seem to have fallen out!

Nice set of shots to illustrate your great #BirdOfTheDay #MixedPairs theme Rob. This aerial tussle between a Buzzard and a Carrion Crow was interesting to watch.

No need to shout about it! Nice #BirdOfTheDay theme - how do you both come up with them?! For #ShoutItOut here are 2 from the opposite ends of the scale - a Buzzard and a Blue tit letting us know they're there.

I thought I'd join in with #RockinTuesday &
#TidesOutTuesday with an image I took years ago showing the Holy Isle and Whiting Bay on Arran. I think I recall that the ripples in the 'sand' are actually rock, which amazes me.

Nice #BirdOfTheDay theme and images Rob. Iβm afraid I might be about to stir up some emotions in @alan678.bsky.social with my favourite #SideView shot of a female Kingfisherβ¦.!
