Expressive and timeless granite slabs lead the viewer into the image  where sunlight sparkles crisply on the vast, rather placid surface of Eagle Lake... in the distance in the center and center right is Mt Pemetic & the Bubbles - with traces of snow amongst the trees on a bright spring morning

Good morning.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is all about #Borbs, Birds looking round, and the Alternative are #Black birds.
I've gone with a Goldfinch, Long-tailed Tit, Dunnock & Chaffinch looking very plump at RSPB Old Moor.

A close-up side profile of a Dunnock perched on a moss-covered surface, its round body fluffed against a soft, pale green background. The bird’s finely patterned brown and grey feathers show intricate texture, with warm chestnut tones along the wings. Its dark eye catches the light, and its slender bill points slightly forward. The smooth bokeh backdrop highlights the delicate detail of the bird’s plumage and the tiny moss stalks beneath its feet.

A gentle moment of autumn, still and listening as if tuned to my voice.

And still fall in love

Great kiskadee viewed from behind, head turned to the left. This bird is seen from the shoulder up and has a brown back and a dramatic black and white striped head. Her black beak is large and hooked on the end in the way of all flycatchers. You can just barely see the edge of her bright yellow breast. Her eye is dark and reflects the sun and the foreground and background is bright soft green vignette.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #stripes any bird that has a stripe marking. The alternative is #mono bird captures, black and white.

...you get face-on with the borbiest Hummingborb in a sweet snowy composition with the canopy in bokeh for a background in all three frames I just dropped on you. Zen birding, thanks for looking!

Good Morning

A quick post to share @alan678.bsky.social theme of #Stripes and Alternative of #Mono for #BirdOfTheDay.

I've gone with Snipe, GS Woodpecker, a #Mono Nuthatch & Long-tailed Tit who all have striped markings.

A small Coal Tit perched on a leafy stem, seen from behind with its head turned slightly left. The bird has a black cap, white cheeks, olive-green upperparts, and soft beige underparts. Its neatly patterned grey wings show bright white wing bars. The background is a smooth, blurred green, making the bird stand out sharply.

One more for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Stripes Hope you all enjoy your day wherever you are in the world. Take care and see you soon. Remember to support each other. Get on the BOTD feed, like a few and repost if you admire the capture. It’s a community. 😊 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
