A few more shots of yesterday’s Cattle Egret at WWT Llanelli. Fascinating watching it pick insects directly off the cattle before enjoying a march through the Black-tailed Godwits. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birds #birdsoftheworld @birdsinwales.bsky.social

🌍 Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus)
The Lilac-breasted Roller is a spectacularly coloured bird with a lilac throat and breast, a turquoise belly, and brilliant blue wings visible in flight. Found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, it prefers open woodlands and savannas. Known for its acrobatic courtship displays, the bird perches on high vantage points to spot insects and small animals on the ground before swooping down to catch its prey. 2.5 Flash (Edited)
Two subspecies are recognized.
Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

"I'm a small and stocky shorebird, known for my bright orange legs and my unique habit of using my bill to flip over rocks and shells to find food. During the breeding season, I sport a distinctive black, white, and russet-coloured "harlequin" pattern on my back and head." 2.5 Flash (Edited)

The Osprey is a Bird Without Borders, as they're found on every continent except Antarctica, and can travel freely between all countries without repercussion. This surprisingly also includes the United States.

Shades of brown with mottling due to plumage change taking place.
A beautiful, juvenile Large Niltava (Niltava grandis). Possibly a female. I find juveniles often inquisitive & easier to approach.

🌍🌏 Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus)
The Red-flanked Bluetail is a small, shy member of the Old World flycatcher family. Males have a vibrant blue back, head, and tail, with a white throat and eyebrow, and distinctive orange-red flanks. Females and juveniles are browner with a duller blue tail and orange flanks. They breed in dense, coniferous forests across northern Asia and parts of Europe, migrating to southern and southeastern Asia for the winter. They are often seen hopping on the forest floor or low branches, flicking their tail. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Wheatear perched on lichen patched limestone rocks.
A late evening trip to Rhossili was rewarded with three Wheatear down on the beach towards Tears Point along with a pair of Chough. Quiet out at sea other than a passing Fulmar and a handful of Gannets. Far too many people for my liking. #birdingWales #birds #UKWildlife #birdsoftheworld

"I'm a medium-sized kingfisher widespread in Africa and Asia. I'm mostly black and white with a black crest and eye mask, white eyebrows, and black breast bands. I'm frequently seen hovering over water before plunging to catch my prey. Unlike most kingfishers, I am not overly shy and I'm often found near human habitation."

A bright green parakeet with a red beak and a faint pink neck ring perches on a thin branch, tilting its head inquisitively against a blurred backdrop of green foliage.
The parakeets in the park were doing some crazy fighting the other day, which was hard to capture, but one of them did pose nicely for me for a few seconds. #parakeet #birds #birdphotography #EastCoastKin #ColorADay #GreenSat #BirdsOfTheWorld

A tern soars through the top of the frame holding a fish in a long sharp beak. Lower in the frame, a second tern takes flight to compete for the meal. A third tern watches passively from a perch on a vertical wooden pole. The birds are white with black caps and dark or orange beaks. Their wings are narrow and pointed. They seem to be built for speed and maneuverability.
Terns in flight (Least and Forster’s) at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, August 2025.
