#WonderfulBirdWednesday Right in the middle of rain, the photo was captured the split second a droplet of water landed on the #Robins head like a crown! 👑 04/2026 #Birds #Nature #FlawlessTiming 🌟 #FMSPAD #SomethingThatFlies #Birdsky #Wildlife #Photography #BirdPhotography #Macrophotography

A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown.

I was shooting directly into the sun, unfortunately so my aim got worse as the #bird flew away #LargeBirdsInFlight #birdsky posted for today’s theme

Here's a pair of Lesser Black Backed Gulls, which cover the Alt Theme from Today's #BirdOfTheDay which is 'Gulls. I'm off to sort through some more of last weeks photos, i will be be back later to go through more of today's contributions. #birds #ECK #CanonR5mkii #photography @rspb.bsky.social

Now then here's Liam & Lora Lesser Black Backed Gulls having a bit of a dispute, what happened was Liam stayed at the pub for an extra pint but Lora took offence to that and threw his tea in the bin. She also gave him plenty of earache in the process, and to his credit Liam just stood there and let it all go straight over his head.

Captured at The Moors section of the Christopher Cadbury Wetlands Reserve at Upton Warren.

🧪Our paper is on the cover of @nature.com today! We discovered a brand new kind of signal in space--a supernova that chirped! We tied the signal back to the birth of a magnetar deep below the supernova, powering it from within. Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Observations of a nearby type I superluminous supernova showing oscillating light-curve bumps provide evidence of a centrally located magnetar in the wake of the explosion, surrounded by an infalling ...

Supernovae are bright. This one is EXTRA bright. Why?! It's hard to study what's behind these super-bright cosmic explosions, but a wobble in the signal from this one gave it away🧪🔭 Here's the story from me with funky 90s graphics from the fab @danjfox.bsky.social With🙏to @drjrfarah.bsky.social
