Ascending up from below the deep. Darkness gives birth to swirling dreams. Borne across oceans of weeping souls. They journey upon silvered tear filled seas. Towards the bleakness of the grey,where you will hear their crying wails. As they revel with delight in the furling of their sails #vss365

I’m off for the evening folks. Please have a lovely rest of your day wherever you are in the world. Red Admirals, how many can you see? #butterfly #BloomScrolling #photography #ECK #ColorADay #RedWed

A thriving stand of sea aster is covered in pale lilac flowers with bright yellow centres, attracting at least eight Red Admiral butterflies. Their striking black wings, highlighted with vivid orange-red bands and white spots, stand out against the soft pastel blooms. Some butterflies bask with wings spread wide while others feed among the nectar-rich flowers or flit between stems, creating a lively scene. Fresh blossoms, fading flower heads, and slender green stems provide a rich variety of textures, while the softly blurred green background draws attention to the colourful gathering of butterflies on the sea aster.

My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said: “ Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Quackers, any Duck will do, the Alt theme is #Swans, any Swan will do.” I’m going with the alt as this Swan gave me so many pics the day I met her. I need to use them all up. 😂 #birds #photography #ECK

A close-up portrait of a mute swan gliding across calm blue water in warm golden light. Its elegant neck curves gracefully downward as it lowers its orange-and-black bill to the surface, creating delicate concentric ripples. Tiny water droplets sparkle on the swan’s white feathers, while its vivid orange bill is mirrored in the still water below. The reflection stretches into soft, abstract shapes, echoing the swan’s curved neck and adding an artistic quality to the tranquil scene. The low-angle light enhances the creamy plumage against the rich blue water, capturing a quiet moment of calm and contemplation.

Dear #BirdOfTheDay family, we trended today again. What a wonderful group of people and birders you are. The respect I have for you all knows no bounds. Thank you so much for being you. In #Ireland even the birds know what to do when the rain starts, leaf umbrella. 😁 #QuietReflection #birds #ECK

A house sparrow perches quietly on a thorny bramble stem, tucked beneath a broad green leaf as the first drops of rain begin to fall. The leaf forms a natural umbrella over the bird, whose soft brown and buff plumage blends with the woodland greens around it. Its feathers appear slightly fluffed, and it gazes calmly into the distance, seemingly waiting out the passing shower. The blurred background draws attention to the sparrow’s peaceful moment of shelter amid the rain.
