#LondonBirds my American birding friends don’t believe me when I tell them there is a 3-storey blind (hide) in London.
Has the #LondonBirds feed gone away?

Preening time
Mrs Kingfisher spent around 20 mins looking after her feathers.

Love on the Lea!
Watch as the female accepts a fishy gift from the male down on Hackney Marshes.

A photograph of an Eurasian Jay. He is perched on a thick tree branch, back to the camera, looking over his left shoulder. His tan hues, with wings marked in white, blue and black, and light face with black stripe contrasts nicely against the blurred distant vegetation and light blue sky in the background. Also, his eyes are enormous! Such a lovely bird but not seen as much as I’d like.
Since today is ThursJay, here’s a gorgeous Eurasian Jay I spotted on WednesJay :)
London, 8 April

Male Ring Ouzel - a black bird with yellow bill, broad white bib and frosty wings.
I was very happy to hear and then see a singing Sedge Warbler in the local cemetery in Plumstead this morning. But delighted to then find this Ring Ouzel #londonbirds
The classic over the shoulder ‘look back’ pose of a male Wheatear. Nothing finer in Spring #UKBirds #londonbirds
Here's the star of the show, the European Robin. ⭐️
I could not wait to see him. 👀
I am starting to get used to the different calls and he has one that is similar to the Northern Cardinal. 🎶

Well hello handsome! 👀
This male Mandarin duck had his partner constantly by his side. 🐤🐦
Who could blame her? He's a catch! 🤣 😍

Waiting!
Mrs Kingfisher sat in the morning sun for quite some time today. She was occasionally making her soft contact call, which means it is likely she has a partner.

15 seconds with a male kingfisher - what better way to start you day.
In one of his usual spots on Regent's Canal.

So excited to see the Great Crested Grebe. 🥹
What a stunner! 😍
The UK species pretty much stays local, wintering in coastal spots and then coming back to freshwater in the Spring to breed. 🌸

Feathers and birds in the bush are today’s two themes. Going with both - with a feral’s feathery floofiness and an LLT’s hawthorn heaven

First day in London. Two hours of sleep. 😴 Amazing birds!!!! 🐦 🐧🐤👀
This warbler sized Blue Tit was flitting in the canopy with another. Shocking to see them for the 1st time.
How did we not notice these beauties in trips past?
