Been a bit busy wandering around Portugal, but nothing’s more important than #FireHydrantFriday. Here’s a classic Portuguese model from urban Lisbon

Thanks Alan. I'm on the road for a couple of weeks, no bird lens, but hope to be back for the Spring migrations!

OMG, has that been radiocarbon dated? It must be the world's oldest fire hydrant! What do you think? c. 3000BC ?

"He wants #WingsOverWater for his #BirdoftheDay"
"But the water's cold"
"Look, it's @alan678.bsky.social. Someone has to humour him."
"OK, I'll go. But next time, you lot can do it".

A slight variation on my usual #FireHydrantFriday offerings: a rural model, not from France, but Switzerland. Complete with snow-capped mountains, but no cuckoo clocks, sorry.

We've got several #wintersurvivors on our mountain lake in France, none more hardy than the gaggle of Coots who live with us year round....For today's #BirdoftheDay by @alan678.bsky.social

First fox of the year! It saw me, started running and I thought I'd missed it. Then miraculously, it stopped, turned and stared straight at me. On the Plateau de Retord this morning.

Thank you Audrey. A little garden bird at the feeder becomes quite noble in B&W!

I tend to prefer black and white for a #portrait, today's theme by @alan678.bsky.social for #BirdoftheDay. Luckily this White-breasted nuthatch also fits #SmallBirdSaturday by @javajanegallery.co.uk

Some birds dive for fish, but this Red-crested Pochard came up from the bottom of the pond this morning with a beakful of green salad. For the #divingforfood theme of today's #BirdoftheDay by @robcrank68.bsky.social
