When flamingos get old they lose their pinkishness and begin to resemble grievously offended Cockney gangland enforcers from an early-eighties episode of Minder.

"Arfur!"

A male ruby-throated hummingbird is perched on a rusty chain. The background is out of focus. Camera stuff: Nikon Z5 II; Nikkor 24-200/4-6.3 Photo stuff: 200mm, 1/200 sec, f6.3, iso 8000 I cropped this shot and adjusted the exposure.

Am I getting his side-eye, or is he judging me and finding me wanting?
Still playing around with my new camera and lens - details in the alt text.

Scientists compare the
intelligence of crows to that of a seven-year-old human child.
Crows, ravens, and other corvids are the only non-primates
capable of making tools. Crows are capable of abstract reasoning, complex problem-solving, and group decision-making. #crows #birda #animals #nature #life

Just a glimpse of a pair of squabbling ring ouzel over Beeston Common this afternoon, but failed to find green hairstreak or spot any adders.
Also missed the cuckoo on a trip around Lakenheath Fen yesterday, but did hear reeling grasshopper warbler. #norfolkbirding #birda #birds

Photo, an osprey is perched in a Y-shaped tree, there are pale green sallow trees in the foreground and a blue sky in the background

Photo of a great crested grebe swimming in green water, the bird has a pale beak, red eye and elaborate brown and black head plumage, a pale neck and dark grey/brown body

A trip out on the boat at Ranworth Broad this afternoon, catching the newly arrived osprey on its perch, little gulls, common tern and lots of dancing great crested grebes.

A chart from Birda app of how many bird species I saw last year, totalling 159

#Birda list of 159 species for 2024, which I don't think is bad considering it's the first year I've not worked on a nature reserve, and we didn't get to a big coastal site in summer, or catch up with many of the Scottish specialties.

Morning Bird Watch Merlin picked up long tailed tits but unfortunately I didn't see them this time. It's a shame because I love to see them flitting about!

Anybody else on Birda? #birda #UKwildlife #UKbirds #birdwatching

@corvustwig.bsky.social saw like 4-7 geese groups come 2gether 2 day. They seemed to circle each other for a few seconds, lined back up and left. #birda

A blue jay perches on a black metal shepherds hook in front of a fluffy green spruce tree. The bird is also fluffy, its crest erect and body feathers fluffed with excitement.

A blue jay perches on a black metal shepherds hook in front of a fluffy green spruce tree. Its head and body are tilted in opposite directions as the wind blows its already fluffed-up body feathers. You know that famous photo of Marilyn Monroe with her skirt billowing above a street grate? This is like that but with a blue jay.

@saskajanet.bsky.social how's this for enfloofenation? 😄 #birda

A screen shot a Birda challenge page. The challenge was to post 10 sightings with a picture of 10 unique species of birds. It runs from 10/1 to 10/31

I’m mad it took me this long to finish this #birda challenge. With winter coming fast, I’m not going to have a lot of bird photography time for a bit.
