Joining todayโ€™s #BirdOfTheDay theme #Petals&Perches, a tiny Goldcrest among spring blossoms.
It turned out a bit on the yellow side overall, but maybe that just adds to the feeling of spring ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿชถ

Tall, dry grass stems sway in the foreground, sharply in focus against a vast field of bright yellow rapeseed stretching across the landscape. In the distance, Binevenagh Mountain rises along the horizon in Northern Ireland, beneath a deep blue sky dotted with soft white clouds.

Guys the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Time to take my dog his walk. See you all later. Thought you might like to see the field where I took my #BirdOfTheDay capture. So I start here and hike up the mountain in the background. Have a great day. #photography #Ireland #scape #ECK

A hyper-close-up (macro) view of a clear water droplet resting on a textured surface, surrounded by smaller droplets. The scene is bathed in soft purple and pink hues, with a blurred, bokeh-style background. The main droplet appears glossy and reflective, catching light with subtle rainbow-like highlights, while the surrounding droplets add sparkle and depth.

A male blackbuck stands partially surrounded by tall dry grass in Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan. It faces forward with a calm, alert expression, its long spiraled horns forming a symmetrical frame above its head. The dark facial markings contrast with its lighter body, while the soft, golden background remains clean and out of focus.

For #StunDay hereโ€™s one of the fallow deer of #NationalTrust Dyrham Park, from earlier this week.

A group of four were calmly browsing and ignoring the humans.

Nice and sunny in this shot but shortly after there was a hail storm that I really wasnโ€™t dressed for!

Coppersmith Barbet, a small bird with yellow underparts, streaked with brown, yellow face patch and chin, black head with bright red fore-crown, red upper breast patch and large, thick, black bill with prominent whiskers at the base.

A very common bird across South and SE Asia but more often heard than seen, as it depends much of its time high in the trees. The name comes from the incessantly repeated mechanical popping song, because of its similarity to a hammer beating copper. I think it sounds like some pedestrian crossings.

@alan678.bsky.social says #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ABCD, starting letter for any part of its name. Do I get extra points for both parts? Coppersmith Barbet is a common bird in #parks; this one in Benchakitti Park #Bangkok last month.

Running on fumes here, been out taking photos just twice this week. Made it to the park before sunset to watch the golden orange beauty drain away behind the forest.

A Dunnock (hedge sparrow) stands on a moss-covered rock, facing directly toward the camera. Its plumage shows soft brown tones on the back and wings, with a slate-grey head and chest. The birdโ€™s fine, pointed bill and pinkish legs are visible as it grips the stone, while its slightly puffed feathers give it a round, alert appearance against a smooth green blurred background.

A bird perched on a small piece of dowelling faces the camera . It is bright strawberry red on it's head, cheeks, and breast feathers. There is bold brown streaking further down. It has a triangular grey beak and it's head is turned slightly to the left. It's a sunny morning, the background is a blurred brown & taupe.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeederFriends, birds that you might see at your feeder, they don't have to be on a feeder. I've gone with this male House Finch, who right now is outside my window singing, even though the sun won't rise for another 45 minutes.

The photograph shows a Owl butterfly, known in particular for the large eye-like markings on the underside of its brown wings. These markings serve to deter natural predators.
It is perched on a green, fern-like twig. The background is blurred

A foggy Irish forest. This is from the same session as last week. Literally standing at the edge of a cloud as it sweeps through over the mountain.
