That'll do it, brilliant 🙏🙌🤜🤛

Thanks so much, Marina 🙏
Glad you like it 🙌

Thanks so much, Lori. A lucky fly-by.
Believe it or not, though, I managed to spot it before it spotted me, so I had the advantage of a split second 👍

🎶 "It's the 👁️ Eye of the Goshawk 👁️, it's the thrill of the flight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the day
And he's watching us all with the eye of the Goshawk" 🎸

If I could only get it to rhyme... 🤔

Been stuck at home w/ a mean headache the whole week 😫
Not been outside at all 😞
But did manage a couple of 📸s thru the bedroom window today.
Like this Bluetit 😍
Perhaps one of the most colorful #birds around here. Perfect for #ColorfulCaptures; alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay today.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth - our bird pic from fab Feb we consider the best.
Oh gee - February provided a lot of pretty poor light, so there aren't that many...☁️😔 still, it's SOOOO HARD to make up my mind...😫
But this Goldeneye got to be up there... 😍

I took this ⬇️ picture of this ⬇️ bird #today. Making it the #BirdOfTheDay.
And, lo and behold, it also fits today's theme: #whiteopenwings.
What species of #bird is this you ask?
A Black-headed Gull!
Why isn't its head Black you ask?
Oh well, #birds... 🤷😆

Nice one, doc.
A collaquial German name for these roughly translates as "chair for your mother-in-law"... 🤷😳
