A juvenile Little Ringed Plover. This is a very small wading bird, with a scaly-looking grey-brown back and wings, a white belly, a white breast, and a partial black neckband. It has a scaly-looking brown cap, a white forehead, a white chin and neck, and a short dark bill. Its legs are yellow.

A juvenile Little Stint. This is a very small wading bird with a straight fine black bill and medium-length black legs. Its back, wings, and crown are a mosaic of dark brown, chestnut, and buff, and it has two distinct white stripes running along its back, like a pair of braces. Its underparts are white, and its neck is marled grey.

A juvenile Common Tern, standing on the edge of a reservoir, calling for a parent to feed it. It has grey flight feathers with paler edges, and its wing coverts and back are mottled grey, brown and buff, with a scaly appearance. Its underparts are white, its crown and the nape of its neck are in process of turning black, and its forehead is marled brown. Its legs and feet are orange, as its protruding tongue, and its bill is black with an orange gape.

A group of four Little Egrets in a water meadow. These are small, snowy white herons, with black bills and legs and yellow feet. The bird centre right of the image is leaping towards the one upper left of shot, its neck extended, its beak open threateningly, and its wings raised behind it. The bird under attack is leaping backwards, shown by the trail of water droplets coming from its feet, which are level with the attacking bird's breast. Its face is partially obscured by its half-spread wings. The remaining two birds are standing still, apparently just watching the confrontation - one centre left of frame with its back turned to the camera, and the other at far right of shot, facing left.

Four from Farmoor Reservoir on 26/08/25: a juvenile Little Ringed Plover, a juvenile Little Stint, a juvenile Common Tern, and Little Egrets fighting at Pinkhill Meadow.

An adult Cormorant in breeding plumage stands on a pontoon at Farmoor Reservoir in Oxfordshire. It's a large water bird, about the size of a goose, with a long neck and a long, powerful bill. It's mainly black, though its wing feathers are bronze-coloured and edged in black. There are white patches on its thighs, and white feathers among the black on its crown and neck. Its face is white, with a dark mottled green and yellow patch on its lower jaw. Above that a dark orange patch leads up to its green eye, which is surrounded by a narrow blue rim.

Here's a messy one for #MallardMonday - I believe it's a juvenile male Tufted Duck, midway through his moult into adult plumage.
