The first #Starlings are back! So what could be a better #BirdOfTheDay for the theme of #ShoutItOut? πŸ™‚

This juvenile #EuropeanBeeeater is my #BirdoftheDay! I took this picture at the end of last October, making it the latest documented Bee-eater in #Sweden in 2025 at that point and the first photographed juvenile outside their nesting site πŸ™‚

Theme of the day is #PrimaryColours

This #EurasianTreecreeper is my #BirdoftheDay and #BestoftheMonth (today's theme). Not because it was the best photo but because it was the best experience - following it around, watching it exploring different trees..just wonderful.

The #NorthernLapwing is one of the most entertaining birds during breeding season here in southern Sweden πŸ™‚ (the local name is #Tofsvipa)

It is my #BirdoftheDay for the theme #WideOpenWings.

Letting go of things can be hard!

My #BirdoftheDay is this #cormorant, captured last year during an after lunch walk along the coast. Does it fit today's theme #RuffledFeathers?

Just checked Blue sky again after a long time and saw the #BirdoftheDay theme: #BirdsInTheirElement and/or #Seabirds. I took this photo of the #CommonGoldeneye a couple of days ago and thought it would be a great fit πŸ™‚

A European #Greenfinch stopped by a couple of days ago. Is anyone else as fascinated as I am that one can simply see the power of the beak? πŸ™‚

Does the swallow dream of flying? Finally, the swallows are back and out and about. Missed them a lot during the winter.

Finally enough light, longer days.. #spring is auch a great time to go out and should photos, e.g. of #hares. They are super active and not yet shy/protective!

Another day, another bird! Long days and plenty of food options available make the garden a low-effort hotspot for photographing #birds

Hello Bluesky! Trying this out for the first time, so any tips are more than welcome πŸ™‚

Would love to use it in order to expose some of my #nature #photography, e.g. photos of #birds.
