Thanks! I've been looking at it.

A male kestrel is a small bird of prey with a distinctive appearance, especially for someone who is partially sighted, focusing on its sounds and how it moves and where it lives. The male has a slate-grey head and tail, a brick-red back with black spots, and a creamy underside with black speckles. Its most notable behaviour is its "hovering" or "wind hovering," where it hangs still in the air by flapping its wings, often by the roadside. You can also hear the sharp, kiting, and high-pitched calls it makes.

Portrait shot of the male Kestrel - spent 12 hours in a Somerset Wildlife Hide & managed to get this shot in the setting sun in August last year 😍😎🪶 🦉 #ukbirding #ukwildlife #naturephotography #wildlife #birdphotography #birdsofprey #kestrel

This is a watercolour painting of some British common land the painting is loose. The paint looks opaque for watercolour.

Caught up with a Townsend's Warbler in Nova Scotia, I think at the 7th try over the years. This lovely bird was in Green Bay, NS consorting with a bright Prairie Warbler, two Parula and a Pine. #391 in NS. Of the hoped for western warblers, all I need now is Hermit. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching

Trump isn’t just firing more Veterans than any President in history—

He’s cancelling contracts with Veteran-owned small businesses that help cancer patients…

…and forcing them to consider selling their cars just to pay their employees.

Truly despicable.

The garden/yard was very quiet last night but the Raccoonobahn had this coyote and then 4 raccoons traveling together. Not sure if the coyote at the end is the original one or a 2nd one.

Great to be back in Tucson with @gabbygiffords.bsky.social for El Tour de Tucson. Turns out the secret to a strong marriage is an annual 32-mile bike ride. Thanks to everyone who stopped us to say hello.

Okay, I listed 15 brand new paintings today! Go look at them please : ) artologica.etsy.com #sciart

"The heron fills the frame, caught in a powerful upstroke: wings raised high like twin sails, revealing layered, fingered primaries splayed at the tips. Its plumage reads as slate-blue and ash, with darker flight feathers and paler undersides, the textures crisp enough to feel the rib of each quill. The long neck is thrust forward and slightly curved, leading to a sharp, spear-like beak that points the way; behind, the legs stream straight and narrow, toes tucked, forming a clean line that completes its aerodynamic silhouette. Light skims the bird’s back and wing edges, giving a soft sheen that separates it from the ground below. The terrain beneath is sandy or muddy, mottled and low-contrast, blurred into a watercolor of tan and gray—suggesting shoreline or marsh flats without pulling the eye away from the subject. Motion is implied by the shallow depth of field and the heron’s posture: mid-stride in the sky, cresting the stroke that will lift it higher. The overall mood is quiet focus—no splash, no crowd—just a single, elegant traveler moving with steady intent through open air. In the top right, a discreet credit—“© Swede’s Photographs”—marks the image, balanced and unobtrusive. grace." - Microsoft Copilot

Adorable brown House wren is perched on a wire giving side-eye to the camera. The tiny bird’s tail feathers are pointing straight up as is typical for wrens.

Wren: What’s this I hear about #BirdOnaWire today?

Oh, I totally forgot to share this painting! I have been so busy finishing ornament orders (they're all done, just waiting for varnish to dry before I pack orders up) that I forgot to share this! Kitties making a snowma....snowcat! 😸

Very!!

Eight very small baby ducks swimming closely to one of their parents. The adult duck is mostly brown with lighter brown streaks ad some white on the wing feathers. The babies are fluffy and grayish-brown with cream markings on their face and head.

I'm going with the #BirdoftheDay alternative theme of #ducklings. These tiny babies are Fulvous Whistling Ducks. The parents were extremely protective - fiercely driving away any bird that approached.

Per @alan678.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #birdonawire. Here's a Kestrel perched on a wire. I think most of my Kestrel photos are on wires!

Leave me alone! For the #BirdOnAWire theme for #BirdOfTheDay - this osprey is defending her fish breakfast from a hungry fish crow sitting on a wire. The crow harassed her so much that she took her meal elsewhere. Ft Myers, Florida. #EastCoastKin #birds
