A flock of Redshank flying low over a flooded saltmarsh, near centre of frame is a Spotted Redshank clearly showing the longer dark bill and legs, fuller body and belly with black patches as it comes into breeding plumage.

Had a nice find on the Duddon Estuary today, Spotted Redshank. Best pic I managed to get.

Rob Crank’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme is #Finches, any Finch will do. We’ve been buried (quite happily) in American goldfinches for months but now have just a few hangers-on. Here’s dad.

Found these two Tree Swallows on a cool morning. One was totally unbothered. The other had questions. Spring is looking good.

A white-breasted nuthatch perches on a branch facing away from the camera, but with his head turned to look right. His back and wing feathers are mostly gray, with some black, and he has a black cap on his white head. You can see some reddish color on his backside. A green leaf drops from the top to partially block the camera’s view.

A white-breasted nuthatch says he’s a #SmallBirdSaturday bigshot! #birds #nuthatches #backyardbirds #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

Finally got to see the tufted duck visiting Nassau county Long Island after missing him 3 times in a row. 2.5 hours in the car for ten minutes with the bird so I can get back home for a bday party 🤦‍♂️ #birding #birdphotography

Brown-chested Flycatcher. Sri Lanka.

The species is known for its cute appearance, featuring large dark eyes that are framed with a prominent, white, spectacles-like eye ring.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron fishes in the quiet of early evening beneath a small pier at a kid’s fishing pond in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, a modest wooden pier extends from shore, reached by a narrow walkway that angles into the scene. Framed by soft foliage along the bank, the heron stands beneath the structure, nearly silhouetted, its long form poised and intent. Its reflection stretches into the dark water in the lower left of the frame, echoing its stillness. Beyond, the pond and distant shoreline blend into a smooth, mirrored backdrop, completing the calm, layered composition.

Hot from the camera roll.
Rain in the air, food in the beak, and zero interest in anyone’s opinion. Caught this jackdaw mid-snack, looking like it owns the place.
