Male greenfinch (Chloris chloris) drinking from a puddle, which also shows its reflection. Trujillo, Extremadura, Spain

@alan678.bsky.social‬ chose #PerfectLighting as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, with alt #Finches.

As far as I'm concerned, that means diffuse lighting without hard shadows, and what I rarely get 😄

That morning in Trujillo was an exception, and great for drinking birds!

A pied bill grebe swims in the water as morning begins. It is facing the east so the light of dawn is striking its face

A tiny grebe greets the light of a new day.

A small bird with a red crown and white belly is sitting on a branch in winter. This photo was taken in our backyard near Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State.

The alternate theme for #birdoftheday is #finches. Here’s a very nice #CommonRedpoll, fluffed up against the chilly winter air. Lake Placid, NY (20 February 2022).

A European starling perches on a slender branch laden with clusters of dark purple and green berries. Its plumage is dark brown-black, densely speckled with pale spots across the chest and body. One wing is partially raised, revealing softly lit, layered feathers tinged with pale grey. The starling grips the branch with curved claws while turning its head slightly to the left, its glossy dark eye alert. Red berry stems frame the bird against a smooth, blurred green background.

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PerfectLighting a bird capture in good lighting. The Alt theme is #Finches Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A female chaffinch perches neatly on the edge of a moss-covered tree stump, her warm buff-brown plumage smooth and understated against a dark green woodland backdrop. Distinct white wing bars and bold black-and-white markings on her folded wings add contrast to her otherwise soft colouring. She stands upright and alert on slender pink legs, pale conical beak slightly raised, her dark eye bright and watchful as she surveys her surroundings. The textured bark and vivid green moss beneath her add depth and colour to the quiet forest scene.

As I’m hosting I think I better support the alt theme too. #Finches We really encourage you to use either theme or both. Rumour has it that female Chaffinches are arrogant. Not sure where that reputation comes from? Anyway here’s a female Chaffinch. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #photo #EastCoastKin

Good morning! 🪶

Dramatic sunset over Lough Foyle, with bands of dark blue and slate-grey clouds sweeping across the sky. A glowing strip of golden light sits low on the horizon, reflecting in rippled pools across the exposed tidal flats in the foreground. The distant hills of Donegal form a soft, dark silhouette beneath the fading light, adding depth and contrast to the wide, tranquil coastal scene.

Good morning. May an Irish sky give the beginning of your week a little boost. Hang in there all you workers. Us retired folk are absolutely not sipping coffee and giggling. 🤭 #Ireland #BlueSkyMonday #sunset #photography #EastCoastKin

Bluethroat 🪶

A Starling on a telephone line singing against a blue sky. The bird is facing left and showing its right side. The sun is shining from behind the camera onto the bird, showing its magnificent iridescence. The bird is glossy black with metallic greens shining through, its beak is open in song

🪶 Happy #BlueskyMonday
The Starling have started to sing near their nesting spots. It might be a false Spring but I’ll take it!

A close-up portrait of a Varied Tit perched on a branch, facing the camera head-on, with its black throat, chestnut sides, and pale face clearly visible against a soft, blurred background. 枝にとまって正面を向くヤマガラのクローズアップ。黒い喉と胸、赤褐色の体側、淡色の顔が、柔らかくぼけた背景の中でくっきりと写っている。

February 22 is “Super Varied Tit Day” for some bird lovers in Japan — so here’s my contribution 😊
