A Great Crested Grebe stands on its nest, facing to the right. The nest is made of waterweed and reeds, contains a single white egg, and floats on the water surrounded by reeds. The bird has a white breast and underparts, brown back, and black wings, It has a white face, long orange/brown cheek feathers, and a black crest on the top of its head. Its long, elegent neck is curled up rather than being stretched out.

This Great Crested Grebe may not be showing off its #LongNeck for #BirdOfTheDay but it is happy to show off its egg!

The left side of the photo has a European Starling - iridescent purplish-green feathers and a bright yellow beak - hanging on to a pole, looking towards a suet feeder. The suet feeder is in the upper right corner of the photo. The feeder looks like a log. The background has some blurred green and brown foliage. Spring greens are starting to show through.

The suet shall be mine!

"A bright northern cardinal stands poised at the rim of a green metal bird bath, its body a blaze of deep, living red against the muted garden beyond. The bird’s crest rises like a tiny flame, sharp and alert, while its dark mask frames a beak the color of ripe fruit. The basin beneath it curves gently, catching soft light that reflects upward and outlines the cardinal’s feathers with a faint glow. The background melts into a gentle blur—shades of tan, gray, and distant foliage—so that the bird seems almost suspended in a quiet moment, unhurried and entirely at ease. Its stance is confident but calm, as if it has paused mid‑visit to take in the stillness around it. The scene feels intimate, a fleeting encounter with a creature whose color alone can brighten an entire yard." - Microsoft Copilot

I love the swans at this time of year. This guy had just come belting down the canal after seeing off an interloper - he’s just settling down here with a shake and ruffle of all his feathers.

Tundra Bean Goose. Came across a reasonable sized flock today, which were exceptionally tame. 😍😎 A joy to look through all the variation in structure. #birdID #birds #birding #birdwatching #geese #wildfowl #finland
