I stand corrected 😬

Words of wisdom…

A European stonechat perched on a bramble stem, surrounded by fresh green leaves with reddish edges. The small bird has a warm orange chest, mottled brown back, and a pale wing patch. Its beak is stuffed with a messy bundle of dry grass, moss, and fine roots—nest material so large it partly hides its face—suggesting it is busy building or lining a nest. The background is softly blurred green, making the bird and the tangle of nesting material stand out clearly.

Good morning. For the alt of today’s #BirdOfTheDay #NestBuilders I’m going with this Stonechat who was building a three room extension to the nest, all with sea views. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Thanks Tor 😎

Black and white photograph of a narrow European street with two figures at different distances, one seated in shadow and another standing in a patch of light, connected by a gently curving cobblestone road.

Different rhythms. Same light.

It's been an amazing month of bird outings for me, including 5 birds I've never photographed before. But I'm going to pick this Great Egret, a bird I see nearly every day, as my favorite photo for February. He was just so beautiful.

Bed warmers - love these responses in the Guardian 😂

Thanks. Yes, I might try again in a day or two and see if I can get closer 😬
