I was not expecting to see this flying around the trees by the river in Ross-on-Wye today, a Lord Derby Parakeet (ty to @nickhop.bsky.social for the ID + nice to bump into you 🙂). If anyone is looking for a lost bird, here it is.

A female goshawk with red eye looking majestically over her shoulder, perched in a forking branch.

The best perk of working in Berlin: goshawks.

I don’t see many killdeer so I was surprised to see this little guy hanging around the pond.

Limpkin, stepping through shallow water, searching along the shoreline for a tasty snack. Medium bodied, brown bird with white splotches throughout.

Great Blue Heron at lake's edge. Keeping a sharp eye (and sharper bill) for a tasty snack. Tall wader, blue grey in color, very long neck. Amongst full, wide green leaves and long reeds growing a waters edge.

Ibis, in sharp focus and strong light, center of picture. Flock- mate slightly out of focus further back. Standing on a green grass shoreline area of a small lake. Smaller bird than the big waders, all white body, reddish legs and long curved beak.

Immature Purple Gallinule, standing just in the edge of a lake. This teenager is light brown now, the great dark iridescent coloration will come on as maturity brings changes.

A crow sits singing high in the birch treetop. The image is brightly lit by strong sunlight, creating clear details. The crow is captured in profile, looking upward towards the top of the frame.

My crow friend greets me by singing in the birch treetop.
He knows who I am and that I come with food, so he may be announcing that to his friends.😄
The crow calls are powerful and emotionally charged.
They are the rock singers among birds.🖤

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #treeperchers. The Downy Woodpecker, Carolina Wren, White-breasted Nuthatch and Tufted Titmouse have found good branches to perch on. 🪶

A larger bird with a yellow belly and a sharp, longer beak is perched in a tree. Its lower wing feathers show white and black stripes. It is looking to the right side of the image.

I've been seeing lots of birds with yellow bellies lately, so when I saw this one from afar based on its size I thought it might be a Say's phoebe. Nope: it's a Gila woodpecker, whose bellies I rarely see because they're usually tucked right up against a saguaro. #BirdOfTheDay #TreePerchers #birds

This is such a creative idea Graham! Awesome my friend ☺️

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #TreePerchers & I saw this exotic avian on a visit to a house in Kent today.It’s a bird, perching in a tree. Just not moving about much on account of it’s on 18th century woodblock-printed Chinese wallpaper.

Smallish brown bird sits on naked twigs of a shrub, facing away from viewer, but looking back over its shoulder. Its head is russet with a white eye streak and moustache. Its beak is gray.

An exotic peacock-style bird, coloured red and green, perches on the twisted brown branches of a tree above another smaller and duller brown bird on the right. Various white and pink flowers plus green leaves are also depicted on the artwork, which is part of a room full of 18th century woodblock-printed Chinese wallpaper at the National Trust’s medieval mansion, Ightham Mote in Kent.

might not allow it. It’s a bird, perching in a tree. Just not moving about much on account of it’s on 18th century woodblock-printed Chinese wallpaper.

a view through the upper branches of a tree, actually it looks like two trees as there are different leaves. a (house?) sparrow is perched way up on the branch of a tree preening. the leaves are green and the back sky is overcast blue. it was july
