Nice find Glenys.

Atmospheric captures! 👌

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme as #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo. So here are a group of Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) taken on the Isle of May National Nature Reserve off the east coast of Scotland.

A small flock of Bohemian Waxwings (Bombycilla garrulus) sitting up in a treetop shrilling to each other before they drop down to strip another tree of it's berries. Love those little tufts of feathers on their heads. Taken on an Edinburgh street.

Hundreds of European Oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) sitting out the high tide on the scrapes at Levenhall Nature Reserve, Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland.

Incoming! Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) dropping out of the sky on their return to the Bass Rock off the east coast of Scotland.

‘Who’d guess they’re the same species?’ What Italy’s wall lizards reveal about genetic diversity and why it matters Understanding biodiversity within species is key to our understanding of why nature works the way it does, say researchers

"Diversity within species contributes to ecosystem functioning and represents an often-overlooked layer of biodiversity."

#Biodiversity - we have so little understanding of what we are trashing

Lovey image Alan. 👏

It's time for some #BirdsInFlight shot for #FlyDay, it's been a mixed weather day today but still good to be out in Nature.

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borb, birds being orbs. So here is a secretive Water Rail (Rallus aquaticus) emerging from the cover to take in the last of the afternoon sunshine. Photographed last February at Bavelaw Marsh, below the Pentland Hills, near Edinburgh.

Thank you Donald. 🙏🙏

Very nice Alan. 👏👏

Thank you Rob. 👍🙏😀

I have caught distant glimpses of them.

Thank you Alan. 🙏🙏

I was there in a previous life on a ship way back 50+ years ago. Missile crisis was still fresh but I have great memories of the people. Would love to see the wildlife there but politics are going to make that difficult.

Thanks Donald. I must try to see them down there. David 🙏🙏
