For today’s #BirdOfTheDay Rob has asked for birds with #BlackHeads so here’s a male Siskin with attitude. Nice set of images Rob to go with both of your themes.

I’ve gone for the #RareEncounters Alt option for #BirdOfTheDay today as I’ve only seen a Slavonian Grebe once. Nice image of the Sedge Warbler Alan.

Walk to school? Looxury! We had to crawl backwards over ….! Great shot Alan.

Why on earth did that fish jump in to its bill like that?! 😉 Great timing Alan.
For #BirdOfTheDay this Grey Heron clearly enjoyed its #snacks but managed this one eventually!

Snap Alan! Great choice of theme and image for #BirdOfTheDay #tricolour.
I think mine is one of several younger Starlings from 3 broods in our roof soffit last year.

For #WoodpeckerWednesday a first timer for me - a Green Woodpecker. Weather was poor and couldn’t get any closer but I was still grinning all the way home!

A perching Song Thrush is perfect for your #BirdOfTheDay themes Alan.
