@robcrank68.bsky.social set the #BirdOfTheDay theme as #SideProfiles. The alt is #Robins and this male Oriental Magpie-robin covers both. One of the most #commonbirds in South/SE Asia but I rarely get a good shot like this one from Benchakitti Park #Bangkok #Thailand

Close up of a Great Cormorant, a glossy black water bird with white head and neck feathering, bright white and yellow pouch and deep green eye, swimming in the sea.

Going to use today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #BirdsInTheirElement, to share a portrait of a Great Cormorant in its natural environment, the sea; in this case the #Bosphorus #Istanbul #Turkey. Good to appreciate #commonbirds

A lovely american robin perched in a holly bush. Held in their beak is a bright red holly berry.

I guess today's #birdoftheday is #everydaybirds or #commonbirds? Not sure how or where the bird of the day theme originates... But I'll share my favorite common bird: The American Robin!

They're supposedly harbingers of spring but they often stay put year-round, forming huge flocks in the winter.

#birdoftheday is Black-headed Gull, the theme #gullsinwater stretched to reflected in water.

#birdoftheday - a nice Common Magpie that qualifies for today's #eyecontact theme, as well as yesterday's #iridescent.

A male Eurasian Blackbird, an all black thrush bird with bright yellow bill and eye ring, in amongst bare blackthorn branches, eating a sloe berry.

It's #feedingTime for this Eurasian Blackbird, #birdoftheday, swallowing a sloe/blackthorn berry.

Ruddy Turnstone, dark brown and white bird with orange legs stood on rocks.

#birdoftheday. Never tire of watching Ruddy Turnstone. One of a number at Puertillo #GranCanaria where the tide was high so I failed to locate the Ringed Plover flock and missed the Semipalmated Plover #sadface

A brown bird, female Eurasian Blackbird, perched on a branch with blue sky and ivy behind.

Happy New Year. My first bird of 2026 was Black-headed Gull but I've gone for this female Eurasian Blackbird for the first #birdoftheday

An adult Black-headed Gull in winter plumage stood on a small mound of earth and reflected in still water surrounding it.

Another in the #commonbirds series. I liked the reflection of this Black-headed Gull in the still water of the River Deben at Melton.

#commonbirds don't get much more common than this. Some Feral Pigeons revert to a form very close to the wild Rock Dove ancestors. Pretty, but you really do see them everywhere right across the world. This one was in the Jardin Secret in Marrakech #Morocco
#birds #birding #birdingkMorocco

Another one of the #commonbirds of #urbanbirding
Collared Dove is very comfortable with human habitation.
#birds #birding #birdingmorocco #birdoftheday

#birdoftheday is another one of the #commonbirds of Marrakech, although perhaps needing a little more vegetation around than House Bunting. Common Bulbul here in the North of Africa lack the yellow undertail of southern populations.

#birdoftheday today is the Eurasian Blue Tit. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be seeing African Blue Tit, but where?
