#Birds #Paridae #BlackCappedChickadee Rob at @robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen the #BlueGreatCoal (any of the Tit Bird Species) as today's #BirdOfTheDay Alternative. From late June, this fledgling Chickadee is soaking up some sun in a Saskatoon bush (Amelanchier alnifolia), waiting for a feeding.

Today's alternative theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #BlueGreatCoal for any tit species.
Here's a Coal Tit (Periparus ater). I found this one in a hide at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall, UK in 2022.
It was terrified & in danger of being trod on. It soon recovered when I took it outside & flew off.

#BlueGreatCoal? tits are the theme for #birdoftheday but my iPhone has a dearth of any tit but Bushtits, so here are a couple from my back garden. Happy New Year!
