Two Spoonbills wade through shallow water, heading straight towards the camera. Water is dripping from the wide beak of the one on the left.

It was the first time I’d photographed these European spoonbills in the wild 🪶

Barry Black Swan was looking dapper but didn't realise he hadn't put his underwear on before the photographer had started taking his photos for page 7 of the 'Daily Bird' Newspaper. Captured at WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.

As usual both Charlie and Celine Coot were bickering about who would get first servings for breakfast, but Mama Coot just wanted a bit of peace and quiet in the mornings. Captured at WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.

Here's Simon Shelducks looking suited & booted for this year's breeding season, but sadly he couldn't find any females at his local watering hole, then he read the poster and realised it was 'Males Only' night. Captured at WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.

Here's Sally Stock Dove looking a little lost while wandering around the lawn, but if she had gone to 'Pecksavers' she would have seen the Exit Sign was right in front of her. Captured at Forest Farm Nature Reserve, near Cardiff.

Good morning.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black&Red, birds with both Black & Red colours on them. The Alt Theme is #Pigeons&Doves any Pigeon or Dove will do.

Deze fraaie bijeneter - gefotografeerd langs de Kunene-rivier in Angola - is al jaren een raadsel voor me. Ik kan geen juiste naam vinden in mijn Afrikaanse vogelboeken. Help! This beautiful bee-eater - photographed along the Kunene River in Angola - has been a mystery to me for years. I can't find a correct name in my African bird books. Help!

Here's #Wally Wagtail (Pied) just launching himself skywards, according to Peter he was trying to replicate Artemis II. But he wasn't chuffed when I told him he needed to give it more effort. Captured at WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.

Here Jenny Jay is heading straight at me to collect her week's wages, i did let her know it was 'peanuts' and didn't come to the minimum wage but thankfully she didn't understand me, so I could give her less of them. Captured at Forest Farm Nature Reserve, near Cardiff

Gloria Gull (Black-headed) was trying to land but the rest of the Gulls were ignoring her, so she got mad and crash landed into Jack & Gill and we all know what happened after that 😂 Captured at Summer Leys Nature Reserve, Northamptonshire.

Here's Scottie Shoveler (Northern) speeding across the water with the Special Branch right behind him with sirens blasting out. This was due to the fact that he had a slight bump on take-off with Terry Teal and didn't stop to exchange details. Captured at WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.

Good morning.

It's always that time of year for nesting pigeons.

Preparation is the key to success. 🪶🌱

A screenshot from the Merlin bird app. At the top is the sound file that was recorded. Bird song (and other loud noises) appear as darker pattens. Below that, are images of the birds the app has recognised (Wren, Goldfinch, Collared Dove). Below that is a gif of the Collared Dove, with some info about it.

Today's fun discovery; the Merlin Bird ID app. Now, every time I hear some bird calls, I whip it out to take a recording.

It identifies well even against strong winds, loud wind chimes, and shouty kids.

Let's see if I can haul my arse out of bed to record the […]
