Good morning folks. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #QuietReflection any bird paused in thought. Alt #SunriseSunset bird captures taken during either. Good luck! #birds #photography #ECK

A female blackbird stands quietly on a moss-covered perch, her warm brown plumage glowing in soft natural light. With her head slightly turned and one eye fixed on the distance, she appears lost in thought, as though pausing to consider her next move. Her golden-brown eye and yellow-orange bill are sharply in focus against a smooth green and beige background, while her relaxed posture lends the portrait a calm, reflective feel. The shallow depth of field isolates her beautifully, creating an intimate moment that invites the viewer to imagine the quiet thoughts of one of Ireland’s most familiar garden birds.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme is #Robins #ForJanet I'm going back to January 2024 and what will soon become #Tenerife Robin. With a very distinctive song, bright white eye ring, more intense red breast and white belly, I've always felt this was good as a full species. #birds #birding #ECK #Spain

"Tenerife" Robin, Erithacus (rubecula) superbus, soon to be a full species, distinct from European Robin. Compared to the nominate sub-species this has a bright white eye ring, deeper, more intense red breast, and a white belly. With a very distinctive song, I've always felt this was good as a full species, and it seems that this and the Gran Canaria subspecies 'marionae' will both be assigned full species status very soon.
