Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme based letters of the alphabet #JKLMNOP and this is a linnet, one of a pair captured at the w/e in Norfolk UK. So it is a #BirdsSeenIn2026

Couple months ago this camera hit the deck. Half controls and screen failed. Today I accidentally knocked it off a table - and everything seems to be working again.

A male Mallard with its green head looking to the left with a female with its head on its back facing right stood on a fishing platform with water behind
Mallards at Lakeside at lunch time. Also good to see Blackbird, Robin, Chiffchaff and Speckled Wood on walks there today. #Birds #UKWildlife
Redstart
Great to see at least 4 Redstart back at Pal y Cwrt yesterday evening. First (pictured) was mostly silent at the base of the valley whilst three more vocal birds were busy chasing each other towards the top. Couple of Green Woodpeckers also. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birds #birdsSeenIn2026

Cuckoo - honest!
My first Cuckoo sighting of the year today at Pant y Sais when this male flew in calling and perched high up on a distant tree. Later it paused briefly in the reserve proper before moving on again. Couple of Reed Warblers also. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birds #birdsSeenIn2026
Little Gull
Very pleased that the Little Gull decided to put in a reappearance at Sandy Water Park this afternoon having missed it earlier in the week. It tended to stick to the middle but the occasional close pass allowed me to get a few photos. #birdingWales #birdsSeenIn2026 #UKWildlife #birds
Nice to catch sight of this Dunnock through a tangle of branches at Lamplighters Marsh, Bristol, this morning. (13.04.26) #avonbirds #ukwildlife #birds

Rook resting on an overhead wire in the UK, distinguished by it's large, pointed beak.
Rook resting upright on an overhead wire in the UK, distinguished by it's large, pointed beak. Upright and looking intently to its right..
2 of the local Rooks on the overhead electricity wires.
Strong backlighting needed +2EV to get detail.
Awesome beak but if you use it for digging up food and defending yourself it makes sense to a have a big pointy one I guess.

Tiny, fast, and easy to miss, a harvest mouse weaving through the seed heads for just a moment before disappearing again. A bit of peekaboo

Two female Blackcap on the edge of a bramble thicket, the higher bird is clearly visible, but the lower one is partly obscured by stems.
Last of the Walney snaps, waited over
an hour for these female Blackcap to emerge from the bramble thicket.

#BirdOfTheDay
Theme is
#JKLMNOP, any bird that has these letters at the beginning of their 1st or 2nd names or Urban so a Jackdaw on a domestic feeder ticks both boxes.
They do love a suet ball, they'd only been out for 10 minutes before they descended on them.

This brown hare looked straight at me, or perhaps the little tree I was hiding behind, either way it was a special moment! π
Yep, sorry, yet another brown hare from me for this weekβs #ShareMondays2026 and another close-up tooβ¦ π

A Lapwing standing in a meadow, the sun lights up the plumage showing the greens and reds of its wing and back.
Just finishing the ones from South Walney yesterday.

A tawny owl perched in a tree and seemingly looking straight at me through a gap in the trees.
Per @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #JKLMNOP
I popped out this morning for a couple of hours and me and this tawny owl spotted each other! So going with O for Owl π

A close-up photograph captures a small, olive-brown willow warbler perched on a blossoming branch. The bird has a distinct pale eyebrow stripe and is looking toward the right, its feathers softly blending with the natural surroundings. It sits amidst delicate white flowers and budding green leaves.
Lovely to hear so many singing black caps after the hail on Saturday at aberthaw. Trying to get a pic of one was a bit challenging but I did see my first willow warbler of the year and managed a quick snap in some decent light.

I have been asking my husband for years to cut a hole in the back garden fence for hedgehogs. His carpentry skills far exceed mine but he has not been keen to cut into his handiwork. Last night he watched the latest episode of Secret Gardens and this am is cutting the hole!

A photo of a male Red-crested Pochard. Their status in the UK is a tad confusing, because there have been many escapees and deliberate releases over the years, as well as visiting migrants from the continent. The majority of individuals are the result of accidental and/or deliberate introductions.
Red-crested Pochard Netta rufina, of the family Anatidae. Beautiful plumage!

Three adult Grey Herons at a large stick nest high in a tree canopy. One bird stands upright on the left with ruffled breeding plumage, while two others rest in the nest to the right. All three birds have distinctive yellow bills and yellow eyes. Fresh spring leaves are emerging on the surrounding branches.
