Wood Sandpiper (Tringa glareola) walking on water. π The layer of algae on top of this channel was thick enough to support the birds weight, but there is nothing underneath it but several feet of water. π¦ #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #sandpipers #waders #shorebirds

The tiny but spectacular Bluethroats (Luscinia svecica) are back! Here is one of several we saw today. Hard to think of it as a flycatcher, but it is currently classified as an old world flycatcher. Same genus as the nightingales. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #bluethroats #flycatchers
This image shows a Northern Fulmar in mid-flight over a sparkling, blue ocean. The bird has a thick, grey-and-white body with long, stiff wings outstretched, showcasing its distinctive tube-nosed bill.

The Great Bustards were still displaying and strutting around Salisbury Plain, the Male would get up and chase another off every now and then. The reintroductions not to everyoneβs taste but great to see and watch and glad theyβre doing well. #birdsseenin2026 #birds
A Long-tailed Tit on Paxton Pits NR in Cambridgeshire today @rspb.bsky.social Rare to see one so still and all the more delightful @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @britishnatureguide.bsky.social #BirdsSeenIn2026
Photo of an adult Black-browed Albatross on a nest, partly covering a quite large fluffy grey chick who has a ridiculously big beak for its size.
A is for Albatross - of the black-browed variety, caring for a little one who is maybe not quite so beautiful....yet

Abysmal phone scope footage in terrible light of the Wryneck in Burton village. Forgive my dulcet Mancunian voice giving directions over the "footage". Admired by many in the hour I spent there. Well done to the finder! #ukbirding #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Nice to see 11 Whimbrel drop onto Marazion Beach yesterday π°π°

Photo by Kort Duce A male house sparrow wipes its beak along a weathered branch at a park in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, a slender, two-to three-inch limb angles in from the lower right, its surface marked by a short, jagged stub jutting upward and a longer spur dropping below. Near the top of the main branch, the sparrow perches with its back to the camera, head turned left as it tidies its beak against the wood. The bird sits centered in the upper half of the frame, poised and intent. Behind it, the background dissolves into soft, blurred earth tones with a trace of green and a gentle warmth near the top, lending a quiet, natural atmosphere to the scene.

Our two week trip to Taiwan featured a little excursion to Okinawa (Japan) for some endemics - here's just a taster of some of the brilliant birds we saw on that wondeful little island (Okinawa Rail, Robin and Woodpecker plus Ryukyu Flycatcher!). #BirdsSeenIn2026 π―π΅
