For #BirdOfTheDay topic of #Coastal&River Here's a little Egret on the banks of a tidal river, standing perfectly still to be stealthy, the bird with brilliant white feathers. They are very skittish around here and always fly off, even when you are on the other side of the river. #birds

It was one of those "I see a ...., oh, It's gone" mornings, so todays birds I failed to take a decent picture of and possibly have misidentified may include: A Whitethroat, female/juvenile linnets. Linnet and a (?) warbler, Cetti's(?) warbler #birds #ukbirds

This is a European robin in my local public park, It has a bit of a problem perching as its right foot doesn't open, but it's very friendly and sits on anyone to be fed. Is a hand a #manmadeperch or #naturalperch 🤔 #birdoftheday #birds #ukbirds

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Feeders or #Green, So I went for both with two damp looking ring necked parakeets hanging on the peanut feeder. Sometimes I get as many as a dozen turn up, they take over the bird feeder until the jackdaws turn up and show them who's boss. #birds #ukbirds

Yes, they are Eurasian collared doves, although I am in the UK and here they were not introduced, they actually took about 100 years to spread slowly breeding their way from Asia across Europe so not classes as invasive here.
