Thank you frightopenclose 😊

You must have taken that on a wet Tuesday in November 🤔😀

Thank you toritori 🙏. A very friendly Robin always happy to pose 😀

Good luck toritori 🤞🍀

A close up of a European Robin proudly perched on the branch of a Holly bush. Taken near the lakeshore on a cold day at Keswick, Cumbria, England. It is in a side profile, standing upright on the branch and facing to the left of the picture. It has an orange-red face and breast, dark eye, brown cap, upper feathers and tail, and a white-grey body. Brown skinny legs and feet grip around the green tree branch. Its body feathers are fluffed up against the cold which contributes to its slightly round shape. The background is full of green Holly leaves, green and brown branches.

Alan's #BirdOfTheDay today is #SongBirds any songbird and the alternative is #PerfectlyPerched any bird perched.
Here to fit both themes is a Robin proudly perched at Keswick, Cumbria (Feb 2026)

Lovely shot Graham 👌. And I don't even think that Sir Alex Ferguson could knock him off his perch ⚽😀

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from
@alan678.bsky.social
is #SongBirds and the alternative #PerfectlyPerched. Luckily I saw this Robin yesterday at a garden, its red colours contrasting with a blue sky as it sang.

A wooden slatted bench sits on a grassy verge facing a gravel path that winds up a hill. The bench is flanked behind and on both sides by yellow daffodils that also grow along the verge all the way to the top of the hill in front of a stand of Birch trees. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro

Good morning. It’s #YellowThu for
#ColorADay but
also time for a #DailyDaffodil. Take a seat and breathe in the scent of these blooms as you rest in the sun and enjoy life outdoors. We are at Emmetts again, the
@nationaltrust.org.uk garden in Kent.

#BirdOfTheDay alternate is #PerfectlyPerched What is a perfect perch? No idea. Do I ever completely understand the #BirdOfTheDay? (sound of crickets) Here are some Bluebirds on perches that may or may not be perfect. Hope you all find a perfect perch today.

Superb close up marra. They are such serene and pretty birds. Hardly ever see them in my garden.

A Song Thrush perched on a thin garden branch, its creamy chest marked with bold dark arrow-shaped spots. The bird looks alert, head tilted slightly upward, showing a slender yellow-based bill and a large glossy eye catching the light. Warm brown feathers cover its back and wings, while small red berry stems and green leaves frame the scene. The background is softly blurred green foliage, making the thrush stand out sharply in the sunlight. 🌿🐦

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SongBirds any songbird and the alternative is #PerfectlyPerched any bird perched. I’ve went with a Song Thrush. Wishing you all good luck and a great day ahead. #birds #photography #ECK

A White-backed Woodpecker clings vertically to the trunk of a tree with peeling bark. The bird is shown in side view, with black-and-white plumage and a red patch on the lower belly. Its bill points toward a small cavity in the trunk. The background is softly blurred blue and gray. 皮の剥がれた木の幹に縦向きにとまるオオアカゲラ。体は横向きで、黒と白の模様の羽と下腹部の赤い部分が見える。くちばしは幹の小さな穴の方へ向いている。背景は青と灰色のぼけた色合い。

Second try at catching the ducks leaving their roost this morning.
Timing was fine, but I chose the wrong spot and missed it 😭
This bird was photographed on my way home 🪶

A portrait of a happy, tousled dog to bring you a smile today. I painted this delightful chap in 2020 using soft pastels on archival quality paper 😊

Lovely shot Rina. Singing from on top of its world

A minimalism shot. A corn bunting sits on the tip of a branch and has its beak wide open as it sings. The background is grey.

Obekörper eines roten Eichhörnchens in Nahaufnahme. Das Eichhörnchen hält eine Haselnuss zwischen den Pfoten, mit noch intakter Schale, und hat sie in den Mund geschoben. Der Körper liegt im Schatten, nur der Kopf ist von der Sonne beschienen.

Flauschiger Nussknacker.

A redwingrd blackbird is perched on a thin reed in a marsh. The light has a golden hue rather than a harsh tone due to the fact it was dawn
