Gulls
The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme today is #Gulls, here’s a contribution which I title “The battle for the bread” #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon #photography
Nice examples for #BirdOfTheDay Rob.
I think this image gives the impression that it’s a reflection but it is 2 Cormorants showing off their #LongNecks in the River Clyde.

A photo of a Northern Wheatear stood on grass in the sun
A Little Tern in flight
Great to see my first Wheatears and Little Terns of the year at Normandy Marsh this afternoon. Linnets, Swallows, Bar-tailed Godwit, Avocet and Lapwing were other highlights. #Birds #UKWildlife
A delicately patterned Meadow Pipit perched on a weathered fence post, the out of focus background is a tangle of dead bramble stems.
Last one tonight is this charming Meadow Pipit, although locally common, can't resist taking a snap.

Confirmation that there are Smooth Newts in the (disused) Lagan Canal at Mickey Taylor's Lock, Belfast ....unfortunately one less than yesterday 😞 @argroupsuk.bsky.social #ukwildlife #HSI #newt #northernireland #nature #Heron #birds #🪶
Male Wheatear in an almost horizontal posture perched atop of a wooden fence post , the bird, post and rusty barbed wire stand out against the blurred pale green background.
Wheatear from South Walney today, clinging to the fence post in the face of a fairly stiff breeze*
*The definition of "breeze" may not be the same as for other locations.🙂

After a brief period of warming the Orange Tip #butterfly warmed enough to break from the torpid state and resumed feeding and, in this females case, avoided the males - for a little while.

A photo of a frog (I think). It has smooth, dark skin and yellow-green eyes. It is standing on a pathway.
Came across this beauty. Think it’s a frog from the smooth skin - correct me if I’m wrong. Put it next to the pond for safety. Rescued a toad on Friday and now a frog!

A male Shelduck coming into land on the top of a bund, neck and legs are extended downwards in parallel, just below the males feet, the head of a female is visible. On the extreme right of frame is the head of another female.
"Keep your head down Sheila!"
Shelduck are pairing up and appear to be investigating nest sites.

Fabulous views of the long-staying but sometimes elusive North American Bonaparte's Gull at various sites around Lerwick over the last few days. The ninth record for Shetland.

It was cold enough this morning that these Orange Tip #butterfly entered their torpid state. Unusual to see 2 together sitting on Cuckoo Flowers....

A grey squirrel standing upright with a mouth full of soft grass collected from a domestic lawn for lining their nest/drey.
Grey squirrel doing some nest/drey maintenance today, collecting soft grass for the lining. Amazing how much they can fit in their mouths.

Busy night last night with lots of visits to the feeders. It was very cold here and doesn't look like it's going to warm up til the end of the week.

A Robin singing on the forest floor amongst twigs, orange-red breast prominent, bill open wide.
Closer view of the same Robin mid-song, filling more of the frame.
Extreme close-up of the Robin’s open bill, showing vivid orange feathers, dark eye, and the inside of its mouth in sharp detail.
This Robin had THINGS TO SAY 📢
