Today’s theme is borbs - round birds. Here’s a borb who’s about to get borber 🤣

Goldcrest and his bounty of sloe berries

A Least Sandpiper, shot from the back, with its head turned to the right so its right eye is visible. The smallest wader with beautiful shading across the feathers.

For @robcrank68.bsky.social 's #BirdoftheDay, #Borbs, birds looking around, I'll share my favourite little wader, a Least Sandpiper, sheltering on the rocks at hide tide and looking around. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Photography

Large Rook, black coloured feathers. A big beak built for digging. One of my favourite birds.

Rook sitting on a fence post, the fence surrounds cattle. Plenty of food for this one and his feathered family.

Rook life. 😁🪶

It appears that having valid ID makes no difference. (many videos showing their brutal behaviour towards people) Randomly kidnapping anyone catching their eye. Frightening times in the USA. 😳😡

I've seen them in two garden centers I regularly visit. Small plants between £40 to £60. Probably a bit cheaper on Ebay or Etsy. I recently read about the Tulip crash. The nearest I can get to one of these is the One Direction bulb from Holland.

A highland cow in a thick, brown, bushy coat with two curved white horns. It's standing in a field with other Highland cows under a grey sky

Winter coat goals.

We are definitely a little jealous of how snug this Highland cow is looking.

Still seeing variegated cheese plants at exorbitant prices. 😳

UK Robin perching on a old fruit tree branch. Brown and fawn coloured feathers. Bright red face and breast. You can get quite close to Robins at this time of year.

The December Robin. 🪶

The upper reaches of the #rockies have been snowed in for a few weeks, but that is all fine for White-tailed Ptarmigan. They float above the white stuff to get around and when they are cold and sleepy, they dig into the snowy blanket and settle in. #birds #AB

Enjoy. Good nite 😴

Silhouetted tree line horizon, with the bare branches of the trees picked out in front of the blue pink sky. Low clouds in dark blue.

Pretty sky after the sunset tonight.

Spooneration on Brownsea yesterday @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk

A rewarding couple of hours today at Filey Brigg in spite of the strong NW wind & the odd icy shower.
Three confiding Snow Buntings on Carr Naze; a Red-necked Grebe, two Great Northern Divers & a Little Auk all on the sea, bay side.

Yellow-browed Warbler at Broadsands this morning.
Hats off to @shiphaybirder.bsky.social who heard it, spotted it and followed it up through the Sallow to make life easier for the rest of us!

Redwings in good numbers, Parke NT this morning feasting on Holly and Mistletoe. Also seen and pictured: Song Thrush, Firecrest, Blackcap m.
Seen around the Orchard: Mistle Thrushes (2), Nuthatches (2),
Goldcrests, Green Woodpecker, Chaffinches.
Unusually this time of year, not a single Fieldfare.

This image captures a Eurasian Nuthatch identifiable by its striking grey-blue back and cap, and rich reddish-orange underparts. The small bird is perched on a weathered, rough-surfaced tree stump, actively foraging among scattered seeds and nuts, with its long, pointed beak aimed downwards towards the food.

This image is a close-up photograph of a Eurasian Nuthatch a small bird with a distinctive blue-grey back and rusty-orange underparts. It is perched on a weathered tree stump, which is covered with small seeds or nuts, and is looking upward with its long beak slightly open.

The very first bird I took a photograph of and the one that got me hooked. The Nuthatch.
