Thanks, Rob! I’ve learned now that I shouldn’t discard any strangely composed photos given the great variety of #BirdOfTheDay topics that are suggested. 😁

A pair of mute swans takes flight after being harassed by an aggressive male swan (the subject of yesterday’s post). #TwosDay #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

To give a sense of scale for this swan’s perceived territory, here he is a few moments prior before getting his pants in a bunch…

Ha! I was certainly considering my options in that moment, but he eventually calmed down.

This aggressive male mute swan had just chased off a pair of swans that I was photographing from his side of the estuary (with lots of noise and commotion that was not at all “mute”). He then turned his attention to me. 😳 #BirdOfTheDay #Staredown #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

A corvid not quite sure how to deal with gusty wind conditions so takes to walking instead of flying. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsOnTheGround #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Heron — so here’s my take! Now, can you spot the Grey Heron? 🤣🪶 朝日なんですが金曜ロードショーの初代オープニングを連想してしまいますね（年齢）😅 #nature #photography #wildlife #GreyHeron #アオサギ #birds #野鳥

A silhouette of a Grey Heron standing on a small patch of land in a golden, reflective wetland at sunrise. The rising sun is bright on the left side, casting strong reflections across the water.

A great blue heron oversees a flock of snowy egrets and black-crowned night herons for #BirdOfTheDay #herons. One big happy family! 🙂 #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

A pair of pied-billed grebes in a very painterly looking pond. I liked the contrasting colors from the ripples on the water as reflected light alternates from late afternoon sun to shade from the trees. #Twosday #birds #wildlife #nature #photography
