Thanks so much Jason. Hope you have a nice Tuesday 🍀

Thank you Den.

A young Eurasian jay stands on the ground among damp soil, grass, and scattered pine cones. Its soft brown plumage looks slightly fluffy, suggesting a juvenile bird. The jay’s pale blue eye and dark moustache mark stand out against its warm buff face, while the distinctive barred blue-and-black patch on its wing adds a flash of colour. It stands alert on slender pale legs, head tilted as if listening for movement in the leaf litter. 🐦

Another for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Corvidae any bird of the Corvid family. Eurasian Jay. Hope you all have a great day. I’m off to bed. Been up all night. Normal service from tomorrow. Take care of yourselves folks. #birds #photography #ECK

A male Rufous Hummingbird sits on the wet, arching branch of a Japanese maple that is beginning to leaf out. The background is a blur of green grass and red unfolding leaves. The hummingbird is facing to the right, looking up, and is guarding his territory from other hummingbirds coming to the feeder. He is a russet brown with green on his wings and head and his gorget is a red-orange almost catching the light

A Robin became a frequent visitor to our log cabin in the Forest. Each morning, it would arrive and make self known through song. This is a side profile of the Robin, looking with one eye towards the kitchen window.

Are birds still a thing on #BlueSky? Oh, so they are...!

My contribution to #BirdOfTheDay is the #SideProfiles of the alt theme a #Robin. Two in one

Two Border Terriers stood in front of a concrete wall on a sunny but very cold and windy winters day in January. The sign behind them in capital letters says Maryport Sea Wall. They are both wearing dog coats to protect them from the weather. They had recently been hand stripped - a grooming technique for certain dog breeds that involves manually pulling out the dead outer coat hairs from the root to maintain the coat's natural, wiry texture, vibrant colour, and protective qualities. For breeds with a double coat (a soft undercoat and a coarse outer coat). Hand stripping is recommended for most dogs with a double-layered, wiry, or harsh outer coat. It is not for all dogs though. Hand stripping is generally not recommended if a dog has sensitive skin, a skin condition, is elderly, or has been previously clipped (which changes coat texture).

Alfie & Hattie don't seem impressed wearing their coats on a bitterly cold & windy winters day at the coast.(Jan 26)
They had recently been hand stripped so no top coat and no protection from the elements.(See alt)

At least the sun is shining on them 😊

A close up photograph of a European Robin perched on a lichen covered branch. He is facing slightly forward and looking to the left as viewed showing his distinctive bright orange-red breast, face, and cheeks, bordered by grey-blue on his neck. The background is a buff colour with highlights from the sun shining through the branches of the tree.

A beautiful Robin for today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme 🪶 📷

With so much terrible news and conflict around, noticing the beauty of our natural world, even if for just a moment, brings me comfort and hope. 🙏 Wishing you all the best week possible. 🕊️

Good morning friends 🤍
Not an easy theme this week on #AlphabetChallenge but makes us use our brains. In this pic the size difference is the thing which stands out. Well, I think it's funny as well.
Have a great week 🤍

A flock of black crows perched and landing in the upper canopy of a budding spring tree, silhouetted against a pale blue dusk sky. One bird is caught mid-flight on the left edge with wings spread.

A scrub jay at the top of a twiggy tree. It is facing left with its feet wrapped around two different branches. Its beak is slightly open, mid-screech. Unlike Steller’s and blue jays, scrub jays are crestless. They are still blue though!

Alas I have no Steller’s jay nor magpie pics yet for #BirdOfTheDay #Corvidae. So here is a scrub jay, calling raucously from a tree.

Good morning to all my beautiful #Bluesky friends. Wishing you a day full of peace & happiness. We're out early this morning, up at 5am & on the train now to our Capital 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Cardiff #Caerdydd #Cymru for our anniversary. Hoping to meet up with our beautiful friend @seracracroft.bsky.social there 💚🌍🌿
