The auditions for this year's Christmas panto, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", are off to a flying start! I'd give it to the Grey Wagtail.... #birds #wagtail #panto #christmas #hunchback

Hebe, goddess of youth, gazes fondly over a young Robin, who has drunk deeply from her cup of vitality. It's all Greek to me. #birds #greek #gods #mythology #robin

Great to be back on the river this morning. Lovely to see a male kestrel too, chasing down a vole or mouse, it looks like. #birds #kestrel #raptor #vole #nature #naturephotography

Mrs K and I are having a short break just down the coast from #Tighnabruaich. The first neighbour dropped in to say hello. #birds #chaffinch #scotland #nature

I've been frustrated trying to spot the kingfisher on the river these past few weeks, so I thought I'd paint one. This is from a photo of Sorcha the Magnificent at the start of the year. #birds #kingfisher #painting #art

Juicy berries and juvenile starling. I love how the berry highlights match the starling's markings. #birds #starling #juvenile #berries

Bird falls asleep. I am not sure what bird this is - any identification would be much appreciated. #birds #sleep

Minding my own business this morning when I was mooned by a Grey Wagtail on a discarded shopping trolley. Another one off the bucket list. #birds #wagtail #mooned

One of my favourite photos from a couple of years ago. African Eagle Owl in the pouring rain #birds #owl #raptor #africaneagleowl #rain #eyes

A large African eagle owl is in flight in the middle left of the picture, staring straight at the camera. The background is a forest of soft green foliage. It is pouring rain.

Thought I'd paint Cali the Kestrel in her iconic setting. #birds #kestrel #painting #watercolour

I think this is a juvenile male bullfinch starting to get his adult colours. #birds #bullfinch

These juvenile Long-Tailed Tits are just about to change their eyeliner colour. The adult yellow is just starting to push through the fledgling red. #birds #longtailedtit

And just to make my day, Breac, the male Kestrel, put in an appearance, high up in the floodlights. Here's his photo alongside one of Cali, the female. The slate-grey head is the giveaway for the male, for me. #birds #kestrel #male #female #edinburgh #birdoftheday #raptor

Cali, the female juvenile kestrel, is completely unperturbed by passersby. An urban kestrel indeed. #birds #kestrel #raptor #passersby #edinburgh

"Urban Kestrel" My acrylic painting of Breac, the male Kestrel who has been visiting my local park over the past few months. I added a floodlight from The Hive rugby stadium in Edinburgh to ground Breac with an urban feel. Hope you like him. #ArtSky #BirdSky #TraditionalArt #WildlifeArt #Birds

Kestrel in flight 🎨 Wings spread against a vivid blue backdrop. A silhouetted floodlight in the background sets the kestrel in an urban landscape.

Yesterday's Kingfisher, on the left, is a juvenile. You can tell from the grey feet. Today's Kingfisher, on the right, is older - the feet have turned red/orange, and by the looks of the slight yellowing of the bottom beak, I suspect she is a female. #birds #birding #birdphotography #addBirder

A juvenille Kingfisher sitting on a branch staring directly at the camera. Its feet are grey, still to mature into red/orange

A young kingfisher, puffed up and sitting on a branch. She has red/orange coloured feet, so she is maturing, and her bottom beak is showing signs of orange - the distinctive sign she is a female.

Check out this Kingfisher's feet. Still grey with no sign of the adult signature red/orange, so a juvenile, probably less than 6 months old. The white tip on the beak is another giveaway of immaturity. Too young to sex. #birds #kingfisher #juvenile #feet #photography
