robin at #wwtslimbridge! I hardly had to edit this, the sun was glowing and he posed carefree right in front of the camera! 🪶 I love how bold robins are, they truly do not fear us the way other birds do

finally, a sunny day 😮‍💨 heard a raven and saw a few long-tailed tits. also saw my hat on a bench, until I reached for my head and realised I was still wearing it and someone else has lost an identical hat!

Two nēnēs at WWT Slimbridge! Native to Hawai'i, and the rarest goose in the world, at one point numbering only 30 birds due to hunting and introduced predators like mongoose, pigs, and cats. Decades of conservation efforts have helped reintroduce the nēnē and native numbers are over 3,800 today 😊🪶

I’m struggling to find my tribe on this platform. Where are all the good photographers at? Show yourselves dammit!! Here are some kōtuku ngutupapa (royal spoonbills) looking suitably unimpressed with all this.

This is a photo that was really too far away to capture well and share a great copy but I wanted so badly to show you the feather display of this Yellow-crowned Night Heron that I cleaned it up just enough you can see some detail. Amazing bird. 🪶

Spring was in the air at Walthamstow Wetlands in London yesterday, even if it did start hailing right after I saw these Great Crested Grebes canoodling. 🪶
Two Great Crested Grebes in breeding plumage are seen in profile facing each other in the centre of the frame, their heads slightly board and the tips of their bills touching as they swim on the calm waters of a reservoir. They are large waterbirds about 55cm long with dark brown wings and backs, lighter between sides, white breasts and throats, long necks, a fan of chestnut and black feathers framing each side of their faces, a small black crest, white faces with small reddish eyes and long slim pointed grey bills.

One of the first photos with my zoom lens when it was new, can you tell? But I did get (so far) the best of the green I see on the Wood Storks. The green is so amazing it looks like taffeta. Sorry it's so close. 🫣😁🪶

Philippine Collared-Dove (Streptopelia dusumieri). Declining in their home range (Philippines), but quite common in villages of the Northern Mariana Islands where they were introduced sometime in the 1700s. Now considered naturalized, they're charming & sort of goofy with their hoarse calls 🎨🪶🐡🌎
Digital painting of a Philippine Collared-Dove. This chunky pigeon has a gray head, brilliant red eye, and then soft pink, orange, and blue-gray tones across the stocky body. The neck has a scaly-looking band of dark blue-gray feathers, giving them the "collared" part of the name.

There is this one delightful thing that always occurs mid-February. It becomes light enough again for me to pass by the local starling roost as they retire for the evening. Even with my headphones in, they sound like a little cheering section rooting me safely home.
