Mr Crow, walking towards me.
Mr Crow, looking at me.
#CrowUpdate Mr Crow is bored, or tired, or both. The good news is that he hangs out in the park more and comes to see me (but he doesn't stay long, which makes me think he's more tired than bored)

A low-angle, monochrome photo of a towering rookery. The tree's leafless branches are dotted with dark, circular nests. In the background sits stone cottage and a single crow is captured in mid-flight in the upper left corner.

Crow on a flowering branch of a sakura tree
#Crows: This is from the North Murder. There is a mated pair that feel very confident in this tree, allowing me to put my hand within two feet of them.

If I'm sad and #blue, it's because there aren't nearly enough peanuts here to satisfy me.

Painting of magpies on a nest of treasure
Finished! My new #painting is 'Magpies’ Treasure.'
There's gold & jewels & other trinkets #Detectorists & #SmallProphets fans will recognise but for the #birds the real treasure is those eggs.

A blue bird with an upright crest, white face, black necklace, and white underparts stands on a thick roughly barked tree branch with its back to the camera against a bright blue sky. It is looking back over its right shoulder with a sunflower seed in its black beak while the sunlight shines off its nearly metallic blue white tipped wings and tail feathers which both have thin black barring.
"Well, it's not a peanut, but I suppose it will have to do. For now."

A photo of a Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri), a large songbird with a deep blue torso, wings, and tail, and a black head topped with a tall crest. It is perched on top of a wooden fence top with its back to the camera, showing off the black barring on its blue wings and tail. Its head is turned toward the right of frame.

Crow clings to the side of a peanut cage looking for the choice peanut that will get him out of the dog house he's found himself in for, once again, leaving dirty socks on the floor and Gretel is fed up. WIngs are spread out behind the bird to maintain balance.
Hansel, the crow, clinging to the side of a peanut cage, wings flared out to maintain balance, looking intense as he chooses the peanut with the golden ticket.
Hansel stands on the side of an upside down planter that is used to hold peanuts. He's flared his wings out to keep balance. He's looking at the camera asking if he's got anything on his face.
Gretchen, the crow, plucks a peanut from a platform with wings spread out for balance. These Aldi find this week are fantastic.
Thanks, @robcrank68.bsky.social!! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying; any bird with it's wings open but not in flight, the Alt Theme is #Eating, any bird with food in it's beak. #nikon #eck #maryland #wildlife 📷🪶 Today is the Hansel show #crow #corvids

2 California Scrub Jays on a fine gravel pathway. The one in the foreground is standing with its back to the camera, and its head turned to look at the creeper coming from behind. The one in the background is running away in a blur.

"A Blue Jay fills the frame, its head tilted slightly forward as if it has paused mid‑question, studying the viewer with bright, alert curiosity. The bird’s face is crisp and expressive: a smooth white cheek framed by bold black markings that sweep like fine brushstrokes around the eye and down the neck. Its beak is sharp, narrow, and glossy, catching a hint of light at the tip. The plumage is a tapestry of blues—soft sky‑blue along the forehead, deepening into richer cobalt across the crown and nape. Each feather is sharply defined, layered like delicate scales, giving the bird a sleek, almost sculpted appearance. The background is blurred into soft browns and greens, making the Blue Jay stand out with striking clarity, as if it has stepped forward from the forest just to be seen. The overall impression is intimate and immediate: a small, intelligent creature leaning into the moment, feathers smooth, eyes bright, carrying the quiet confidence and mischief that Blue Jays are known for." - Microsoft Copilot
Curious Blue Jay
I noticed this image of a Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata). The bird seemed to study me more closely than I was studying it. ...

Painting of magpies on a nest full of treasure
My #painting of #magpies treasure has now moved on to the nest itself. Lovely, fiddly, detailed & painstaking work in a symphony of umbers.
And yes, in a nod to #detectorists, I DID add a cycling proficiency badge, just like the one I had in the 1970s.

A quick video of a Black-billed Magpie opening a peanut on a stump. Wildlife photography from my garden.
#Corvids #BirdWatching #Utah
Jackdaws have started nest-building here in N. Dorset - many weeks after their cousins the Rooks.
As I watched this bird, building in an old chimney pot on Shaftesbury High Street, I was surprised at how much effort goes into locating a single twig.
Final stick success , slowed down.
