Another highlight was this common whitethroat, a lifer for me

Black and white photo of a crow perched on a dead tree. Cobwebs can be seen between individual branches. The crow's head is turned. The background is very blurry.

I went on a walk in the hopes of seeing a skylark today (no luck), but was instead graced by a crow on this very nice dead tree. Definitely my favorite crow pic so far! 🪶

A small collection of stylized bird figures made out of polymer clay. The two large ones are wearing wool hats and scarves and are modelled after a Eurasian wren (left) and an eastern bluebird (right). The three very small figures in front are inspired by (from left to right) a common redstart, a European robin, and a Eurasian bullfinch. They are all painted with bright, saturated colors.

I'm back, and I have brought birbs

not the fluffy, moving type, but the one that's made out of polymer clay and acrylic paints!

Sometimes I make really weird, really niche things that will likely never sell but I love them! Take this galaxy themed fantasy Isopod with glow in the dark stars, for example :D

A male blackbird screams at the camera. Its head is slightly tilted to our left, and its beak is wide open as it loudly announces its displeasure at the intrusion into its territory. The blackbird is entirely black, with the exception of its yellow beak and skin surrounding its eyes.

A european robin stares down the camera with a rather astonished look. Its face and throat are orange, its belly is white and the feathers covering its wings and back are grey-ish brown.

A long-tailed tit displays the ultimate combination of bird's best traits: Borbness and goofiness. Its feathers are all puffed up, particularly towards its belly, giving the impression that the bird wears flared pants. The long-tailed tit is mostly white, with some black markings on top of its head. Its upper eyelids are yellow. It has a very short black bill.

A great egret goes for maximum goof. Its neck is so long it eventually leaves the frame in the bottom right corner. The egret is all white, with a yellow bill and green-ish parts around its yellow eyes.

We covered the illustrious topic of borbs, so now it's time for another favorite genre of mine:

Another one from the archives, this one is from late July.

I had a great day out in the snow today, and even managed to add a new species to the list: The common redpoll! I'll hopefully get around to posting about it soon!

Photo of two relatively large birds on the water. They are mostly brown, and their long necks and faces are white with brown or orange decorations in the collar area. Both adults have dark brown crests on their heads. Looking closely, the head of a juvenile can be seen between the two adults, accepting a small fish from the adult on the right. The juvenile's feathers have a black and white pattern.

Mother grebe drops off a fish before going on the hunt for more.
Juvenile great crested grebes are frequently carried on the back of a parent - even when diving for food. At around 10-11 weeks old they begin to hunt on their own.

Macro photo of a small jumping spider on a blade of grass. It has raised its head to look up, and white reflections of the camera's flash diffusor can be seen in its 3 visible forward-facing eyes. The spider is darkly colored, with a black body, brownish legs and some white and yellow hairs on its face. The background is blown out and a few brighter blobs of yellowish green can be seen where sunlight illuminates leaves.

I promised jumping spiders so here we go!

I came across this young male E. arcuata in the forest back in August. That inquisitive glance upwards gets me every time!

Branches with three birds perched on them: a crow, a finch, and a hummingbird

Alright #birds feed, for those feeling like playing along we’ve got another theme! This rec came from @glendunlap.bsky.social… show us two or more species in a single shot!

Kicking off w/ the holy trinity of Pacific Northwest backyards: a house finch, an Anna’s hummingbird, and an American crow🪶

Photo of two birds on a dead tree. They both strike a pose, raising their heads and looking off to opposite sides. The bird perched on top, a great spotted woodpecker, shows us its white belly and red rump. Its head and throat area has black markings and the back of its red has a characteristic red patch. The smaller bird at the bottom, positioned in the shade of the branch, is a great tit. The front of its body is yellow with a black stripe running down the middle. Its face is black with a white cheek.

Great spotted woodpecker with its great tit sidekick from fall last year. Loving these themes! #birds

Macro photo of a common woodlouse facing the camera. Its segmented body is mostly a brownish grey which turns brighter towards the edges of the segments. Bright, yellowish patches are scattered throughout its armor. The woodlouse has black compound eyes and segmented antennae. And yes, that's probably a piece of poop on top of it, just out of focus.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I'm already in love with this place. So much positivity and friendliness.

I noticed a critical issue though: The lack of #isoposts. Take this common woodlouse as my contribution toward a greater good!

I love them so much! They're so active and always on the move. I hope to come across a gang of them this winter too, they're just too cute when they're floofed up
