A reed bunting perched in a tree. The tree has new young green leaves and the branches are covered in a yellow lichen.

From the RSPB -

Reed Buntings are sparrow-sized but slim, with a deeply notched tail. The male has a black head, white collar and a drooping moustache. Females and winter males have a streaked head. In flight, the tail looks black with broad, white edges.

An image of a Great Spotted Woodpecker is shown. It is a mainly black and white bird with a creamy white breast. It has a red belly. It has two white spots on its back. A map of the UK is shown. The text says: Woodpeckers: Great Spotted Woodpecker 124% increase 1995-2024 UK. The BBS logo also features a drawing of a Goldfinch.

(1/) It’s hammer time! Great Spotted Woodpeckers continue to increase across the UK. This distinctive species is even being seen more regularly in Northern Ireland, where it used to be very scarce. @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social #Ornithology #CitizenScience

With wader flocks on the move, do you ask yourself questions like:
"How does an individual bird decide which flock to join?"

Interesting track of a homeward-bound Icelandic Golden Plover (@tomasgunnarsson.bsky.social on Facebook).
Portugal to east England, then Netherlands & Orkney.
Caught up in flock heading to Europe and readjusted to head to Iceland?

An all-black bird with a vibrant red and orange beak and yellow eyes surrounded by a ring of red flesh flies through the air as thin streaks, made by falling misty rain, surround it. Its wings beat faster than the camera's shutter, creating a blurry sense of motion.

An oyster (or, snail) catcher flies through misty rain above the ocean. The bright colors on these birds' beaks and eyes are stunning!

Fig. 3 from the article: The mean (± SE) of the antioxidant system – glutathione across time of P. ashfordi-infected Eurasian siskins (Spinus spinus) and uninfected (control) siskins. The concentrations of (a) total glutathione (tGSH), and (b) oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in avian red blood cells are shown. In (c) the estimated ratio between the reduced and the oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG ratio) is shown. Controls are shown with circles and a black line, while infected birds are shown with triangles and a dashed line.
