A Spotted Sandpiper in non-breeding plumage on the beach at Anse Chastanet in St Lucia.

I’ve just discovered #BirdOfTheDday and today’s theme is #Walking so here’s a Spotted Sandpiper taken this week in St Lucia on the @naturetrek.bsky.social tour. #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇱🇨

Two Collared doves sheltering from the snow on a wooden bird table. The doves are a soft grey colour with a black 'collar'. They are not a native species to the UK, they were recorded here for the first time in the 1950s and have thrived to become once of the commonest garden birds.

@alan678.bsky.social has chosen the #BirdofthedDay theme today as #AllWeathers, and the Alternative of #LongLegs.

Collared Doves (Streptopelia decaocto), our garden in #EastAnglia, UK. February 2021

The bird table was made by me from recycled wood and off-cuts.
