That shows the difference between them really well!

We saw these sanderlings snoozing together at the shore in Birchington Kent. I’m not sure what the others behind them are? For AB’s #Shorebirds theme in #BirdoftheDay #Birds #Nature #Wildlife #Kent #ECK

PS Waverley called at Whitstable in Kent on the Finale day of its Thames season 2026. It’s the last sea going paddle steamer anywhere in the world. We enjoyed beautiful weather for this trip. #PSWaverley #Kent #Whitstable #Thames

This little Chaffinch joined us yesterday, hitching a ride on the Paddle Steamer Waverley. We were on a gorgeous trip around the Thames Estuary, calling at Whitstable. Fresh from the camera for today’s #Brown theme in #BirdoftheDay #Birds #PSWaverley #Stowaway #Thames #Nature #Wildlife #ECK

For #BirdoftheDay, Rob has covered Alan’s themes and I’m going for the Alt - #Pigeons&Doves This pigeon was in the Central Park in Dartford, whose Parks Department provided the nice flowery background! He’s got a nice purple sheen… #Birds #Dartford #Kent #Parks #UrbanWildlife

Thanks Rob for picking today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme, which is #Eating, birds with food in their beaks. This gull was certainly having a go, but may have bitten off more than it could chew! #Birds #Seabirds #Nature #Wildlife #Cornwall #Sushi

Thanks that’s good to know, I have been wondering!

Standing on the clifftop in the gardens at Dawlish, Devon, we saw this flight of swans coming along against the backdrop of the sea. A magnificent sight (and sound)! For Rob’s #BirdoftheDay #BlueWater #Birds #Nature #Wildlife #Devon #ECK

This tree looked liked it had feet and would get up and walk away any minute! By the River Darenth in Kent at Lullingstone. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Kent #Darenth #Trees #Nature #Rivers #Darenth

A tree trunk that is very wide, by the banks of a river

Perfect for both you and the theme!

Thanks Rob! Somehow this capture makes the sparrow look enormous!

Thank you so much Helen! Great themes today. I love it when you get us thinking!

We saw this little sparrow at Juliet’s Garden on St Mary’s Scilly Islands. It was keen to relieve us of any crumbs from our lunch! For Helen’s #UnsungBirds alt theme in today’s #BirdoftheDay #Birds #Scilly #Nature #Wildlife #ECK

Yes the visitor centre building is still open but you have to take your own food and drink if you want some.
