Today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ColourfulCaptures. A male Common Kingfisher with a hay field background.

Photographed in south #Cheshire, England in the early 1990s on #Kodachrome.

Thanks Alan. I thought of various waders/shorebirds and forgot about them as too obvious.

The light was nice that morning.

Thank you. It's the reverse in the UK where House Sparrows were common but the Eurasian Tree Sparrow was uncommon.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SteppingOut. Two backlit Sandhill Cranes out for a stroll on the #BrucePeninsula, Ontario shortly after sunrise.

Thank you.

I hope someone checks the hold fot for Tribbles.

Good to know. I broke my own rule and didn't wait 24 hours before updating.

Everything is showing up using the web browser version on Opera but I can't post from there. 🙄

I'm more proud of the bird bath. A ceramic sink I rescued from an orchard filled with cobble stones I got from somewhere.

Thanks Jason. I was going to crop it square but decided to leave space for the virtual tail.

Thanks Jason. Something different for the #MixedPairs theme.

Nice to know you can see it because after the app update all my contents and posts have disappeared. I'm running blind at the moment as it's also broken several of the feeds I use.

Thank you.

I'm guessing it's something to do with today's update as my content is gone now.

I can still see your content.

Thanks Rob.

Thanks Rob. I thought it was a different take on the theme.

Thanks, it's been a winter for minimalist images.

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the project.

I'm glad you liked the photo.

It was the only colour film stock that I used for years as a lot of editors preferred it until Velvia arrived.

Thank you. I always think that the grebe is looking around as if lost in a sea of gulls.

Yes, I've noticed that. Buying from Japan usually results in having to pay customs/brokerage fees in Canada. Maybe they have increased their prices to cover paying the fees.

Thank you for the repost and comment

Thank you. Part of a four month project that started with the adults inspecting the nest box and ended after the last youngster left the box.

I'm glad you liked it.
