#FirstBirdOfMyDay: Unidentified early morning silhouette – probably an American robin, but could have been a red-winged blackbird or a European starling. 🤷‍♀️

#firstbirdofmyday was a blue tit hanging on to a wildly swinging bird- feeder

Moin.

Happy #Easter - Frohe #Ostern!

#FirstBirdOfMyDay - a pigeon softly cooing.

I'm late. That's because I spent time with loved ones.

Still healing.

Sending love to everyone who reads this. Particularly the lonely ones.

How are you?

A Robin, Great Tit and Blackbird welcomed a sunny Easter Day amid the joyous flowers of Springtime.

A chorus of Robin, blackbird & blue tit on Easter Sunday. #firstbirdofmyday

Surprisingly, there are a fair number of Jackdaws around right now although I do not often see them early…but today…. #firstbirdofmyday

I woke up before the sun and could already hear magpies carolling in the dark. Put my leg of lamb in a very low oven for family lunch and back to bed. My magpies turned up after lunch but my son’s dog beat them to the scraps. They weren’t amused. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: the woodpigeon sitting on his favourite branch in the silver birch, having survived the overnight battering of storm Dave. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Eerily quiet first thing: perhaps everybody was having a lie-in after last night's winds. But then Mr Robin piped up in a bold bid for 1st place, followed by a Lapwing (who I don't think understood the game, really) and a Pheasant (who just found everything very startling (again)). #firstbirdofmyday

First birds of my day: a pair of Magpie investigating the front garden, while a trio of Herring Gull circled, yelling, overhead in the rosy pink and pastel blue dawn skies.

Happy Easter or as they say around here Pasg Hapus! 🐰🐣🪺

I heard wo jackdaws tchacking from a chimney but when I looked up there was only one and then POP there was none. Down the chimney they'd gone. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

A solitary Woodpigeon - (Columba palumbus)
perched on top of the apple tree.
I can't see, nor hear any other birds at the moment.

The flutey song of a Robin fresh as the spring blossom on the cherry tree it sings from #firstbirdofmyday

Goldfinch and Siskin on feeders just before the rain kicks back in after an incredibly windy and wet night. #firstbirdofmyday

A Dunnock searching the lawn methodically, taking advantage of the quiet start to the day. #firstbirdofmyday
Happy Easter everyone.

First bird of my day. The herring gulls once again greet the morning with their own unmistakable calls that tell me I am home. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

I peer out of my window and the sky is completely empty … 🙀 until a Jackdaw launches itself from a ledge on the building opposite and flies in a circle looking for another place to roost before deciding ‘there’s no place like home’ and returning #FirstBirdOfMyDay

First bird of my day: a trio of Ducks flying overhead and Wren singing in the trees on a calm, sunny morning after the storm last night. #Firstbirdofmyday

First bird of my day: the see-saw call of a Great tit on the blackthorn blossom is my #Easter #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

#FirstBirdOfMyDay: White-throated sparrow in the much-needed rain.

After the next pidgeon-not-a-cuckoo flyby #firstbirdofmyday I saw herons mating #FirstTimeEver and a flock of goldfinches on my way to the bakery. Good day to you all!

First bird of my day: a lone Crow making its way along the valley on a calm morning before storm Dave arrives. #Firstbirdofmyday

Robins & blackbirds en masse (I hesitate to use the word cacophony, but...) were vying for the crown this morning, and deserve a dead heat for #firstbirdofmyday The tawny owl that was asking them, every minute or so, whether they really thought their time had arrived yet deserves honourable mention.

First birds of my day: a pair of Magpie busily attacking the twigs in the neighbour's Silver Birch tree, while a Jackdaw strolled along the top of the garden wall below them, and on a chimney opposite a pair of Carrion Crow bobbed and called.

Here a high speed Wren I disturbed on the ground and it shot across my path. #firstbirdofmyday

Two jackdaws perched on a fence watching another jackdaw attacking a fatball feeder.

Two jackdaws patrolling the rooftops that overlook our garden were the #FirstBirdOfMyDay
Here's a photo of them from a few days ago.

#firstbirdofmyday…. Early morning swim at Scarborough. The kittiwakes are back! Shrieking and fighting and gliding and soaring.. sweet little faces that look like butter wouldn’t melt and that wonderful wild ear-splitting call.

First bird of my day: a pair of jackdaws gliding slowly over the rooftops. #FirstBirdOfMyDay
