Great stuff, very distinctive and interesting.

Autumn turning to winter - but still beautiful. Walking near my home in south-eastern France.

Thanks Rob, I appreciate your reposts.

Some wonderful photos of #grebes about today but I'm going with the alternative #BirdoftheDay theme of #finches. Here's a Diamond firetail (you can see where it got its name). Thanks to @robcrank68.bsky.social

A proper #autumn tree (with bonus dog) for today's #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #photography

Thank you!

Thanks Alan. Nice theme.

This is either a scary Bald Ibis or a chicken in a #Halloween mask. Either way, he seems to be #hiding behind a rock, thereby fitting in a single shot both themes by @alan678.bsky.social for today's #Birdoftheday !

Great contribution to #FireHydrantFriday

I'm a bit late for today's #birdoftheday theme of #oddangles - but here's a pair of Inca terns squabbling over fishing rights (at least I think that's what they were doing....).

It was so still and patient, almost as if it was used to hosting oxpecker comittee meetings!

Thank you!

Thank you Rina, appreciate it.

Thanks - it was really just one of those lucky moments - a reward for all those hours when nothing much happens in front of you!

"We can't go on meeting like this". It was standing room only on the back of a South African impala for this group of red-billed oxpeckers. I love the way the birds all appear to be listening to their leader. For today's alternative #BirdoftheDay theme of #funny.

Surely he should have waited for a whale to surface in the bay while a seagull swooped overhead? 😜

That's an amazing shot, well done.

Good timing, @alan678.bsky.social, you want #gulls and I came home from our local ponds yesterday with about 200 flying gull shots to sort through. Here's one of them with a nice autumn backdrop.

Thanks, Rob. I bagged a nice threesome today (hint, hint)!

Thank you!

That's really a wowza of a shot. Great stuff.

Lovely!

Thanks so much, Alan. I appreciate all your efforts in this community.

I took this shot of a flock of migrating spoonbills over Mont Saint-Michel last month. I'd been working my way through 3,000 road trip images and only realised while editing today that I'd been photobombed by a distant French Air Force jet. Does that count as a new species?

Who is that masked bird? Yep, it's the Lone Yellow-crowned night #heron - hi-yo, silver! For today's #BirdoftheDay, theme by @alan678.bsky.social

Thank you!

I'm at last beginning to edit some of the pix from my recent French road trip. We started along the coast from Calais and were lucky with the light. (Not a drone shot by the way - a view from the cliffs of Cap Gris Nez).

Thank you

Thanks Alan...
