Photograph of a pair of Imperial Shags, The left hand bird is standing at the edge of a nest with its long neck bent until its head is resting against its back, its face, beak and eyes facing backwards. The bird on the right has bent its neck to the side to preen its shoulder with its long beak. The monochrome black and white feathers of Imperial Shags is offset by two bright orange fleshy areas just above the beak, a yellow throat and blue eyes. Canon R5 400mm f/8 1:1600 Iso800 -0.3EV
"Marge? Why are all the penguins upside down?"
"Stop being such a clown Homer, I'm trying to preen here"

Finally, see last week species count per year and total for the #BirdsSeenIn challenge!
We are starting on solid grounds with this bluesky only #BirdsSeenIn2026 challenge this year, which is in the range of last year count for mid April!
Since last Sunday, Burkina Faso and Honk Hong joined the #BirdsSeenIn2026 army, both with a species recorded for the first time ever in the challenge!
This is now 105 countries and territories participating in our friendly contest!
Today, in the #BirdsSeenIn2026 summary, Thailand ranked up in the top 10 and is getting ever closer to the 200 species mark! We still have only five countries that succeeded to pull that up so far!
This is however the only change in the top 10 this week!
Solid top 3: Malaysia, Australia and USA!
Immature Purple Heron, large, very tall wading bird, largely reddish brown with paler areas, long legs, a very long, slender neck and a long, powerful, dagger-like bill. Standing on a grassy back looking down at adjacent green water.

#BirdoftheDay with @robcrank68.bsky.social is #LongNecks, like this Purple #Heron from Taman Tasik Permaisuri park in #KualaLumpur

Photograph of a Black Francolin standing in a stretch of short green grass in Kauai. It is in profile, facing to the right, with its neck outstretched and small head raised high. The Black Francolin is a game bird that looks like a cross between a quail and a pheasant. It has a small black bill, a black head with a signature white cheek patch, a black neck and chest, white spotting on its sides, and a brown back.
Today's #BirdoftheDay theme of #LongNecks fits for this introduced game bird species 🪶 that I saw during my recent #Hawaii #birding trip --- a Black Francolin, with its neck fully extended.
Black Francolins were easy to hear but so skittish and tough to photo.

A couple of ducks to end my #BirdsSeenIn2026 contributions for the day. Blue-billed Teal and Cape Teal again from Nakuru, #Kenya
Greater and Lesser Flamingo. Easy to make them look the same sort of size in cropped photos but just how small the Lessers are is obvious when seen next to Great White Pelicans (or are the Pelicans just enormous? !) Nakuru #Kenya #BirdsSeenIn2026
Barnacle Geese at Walthamstow Wetlands in East London today @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social where in recent years they have been a regular and welcome sight @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #BirdsSeenIn2026
A pink flamingo stretches its long neck. The background is sparkling water. Backlit shot
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongNecks, the Alt Theme is #Gulls
Flamingos are so beautiful, they even make the water sparkle ✨️✨️

Another shot of a different group of the fabulous Masked Laughingthrushes. This was taken in Shenzheng China which we visited for 2 days. Great birding there. #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #naturephotography

Some from RSPB Saltholme yesterday. Tree Sparrow, Little Egret, Lesser Black-backed Gull(s). #birds #ukbirding #birdsseenin2026
A Redpoll feeding on alder, the red forehead patch and yellowish bill showing well against streaked buff plumage.
I more often hear Redpoll than see them, but they seem to be doing relatively well locally. A pair on patch this week were a treat. #ukbirding #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 for England.

Possibly one of the most photographed species for birders travelling to sub-Saharan Africa, but it is hard to resist a Lilac-breasted Roller, even if it still has its early morning bed-hair! #Kenya #BirdsSeenIn2026
