@robcrank68.bsky.social set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme: #GoodLight and Bird capture where you had good lighting conditions, and the Alt Theme is #Gulls.
How about #Gulls & #GoodLight?
2 Common Gulls from the German Island Fรถhr & Lesser and Greater Black-Backed Gulls from Baltrum :-)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CootsAndMoorhens, and the Alternative for today is #Ducklings.

I'll stick with the beautiful coots, which are so full of character that they'll always hold a very special place in my heart ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค๐Ÿ˜˜

I don't have a favorite wader, but Common Ringed Plovers are definitely the cutest :-) I love everything about them and was extremely happy to catch one with a worm in its beak. ๐Ÿฅฐ . #Baltrum, Germany.
