Hen Harrier
Lovely views of this female Hen Harrier down at Llanrhidian yesterday evening. Swept by the car and then looped out over the marsh before heading straight back at us. Closest views for some time, and in actual sunshine! #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birdSeenIn2026 #birds @gowerbirds.bsky.social
Six plumed whistling ducks on a pond in Queensland (Australia)
Seven plumed whistling ducks , walking around in the grass
#BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore so I think I would share the plumed whistling ducks that were all over the farm we stayed that in Beerwah ( Australia), yet the owner was so annoyed by them 😜

Photo shows 4, down covered, brown Imperial Shag chicks on one nest with 2 other chicks also clearly seen on a second nest behind the first. The nests are made of mud and grass moulded into a pillar with a cupped top, The chicks are big enough to be safely left by their parents but are still trying to stay in the nest waiting for a parent to return from fishing and feed them but have grown too large for the depression and so 2 chicks are sitting on the nest and the other two are balanced one on top of the other on the bottom 2 like cheerleaders. There were Imperial Shags nesting on all the Islands we visited but their success rate was variable. Some Islands there was predominantly only one chick per nest , most commonly there were 2 and on Bleaker it was not uncommon to see 3. These parents were exceptional raising 4 which is considered unusual. The nests become very hard and compact and previous years nests, although not used by this colony, had survived the winter rains and were a marker of how the colony was moving across the landscape each year.
Who needs a branch when you have a nice soft sibling to stand on.
Imperial Shag chicks on Bleaker Island, in the Falkland Islands. Its unusual to see so many chicks in one nest, see alt.

It has excellent eyesight and can spot small prey from high above while soaring . The Red kite is considered a conservation success story in Europe thanks to protection laws and reintroduction efforts,
