Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts. The first picture of a bird I took while overseas this year as an avid birdwatcher was of a Woodpigeon.

On July 19th, I discovered a Song Sparrow had built her nest in the bush by my front walkway. She had three eggs. As of today, 2 eggs have hatched! I will keep taking photos from a safe distance and update here. :) #birds #birdwatching #birding #ottawa #urbanwildlife

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Gulls. One of the two common gulls you see in Ottawa, Ontario is the Ring-Billed Gull. This one wanted to participate in a work event at a park. #birds #birding

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Preeners&Scratchers. As this is my big MOVING DAY to my new house, I thought I'd share a photo of a bird in my old house's back yard. My new yard is bigger and I've already identified 6 different species hanging around, so I'm pretty excited! #birding #birds

Today is apparently #Scape Friday. Something new for me to enjoy! Here is my submission for it... I took this picture in Ocala, Florida way back in 2013. We turned a corner and the fog and sunlight were hitting JUST RIGHT and I screamed for my friend to stop the car. #florida #photography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BadFeatherDay, and this photo definitely fits the theme. It was lightly raining, but I don’t think that’s why the feathers looked like this 🤔🪶 #モフ曜日キツツキん曜日じゃないけど😅 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #GreatSpottedWoodpecker #アカゲラ #birds #野鳥 #BirdsSeenIn2026

A Great Spotted Woodpecker clings vertically to the trunk of a tree in light rain. The bird’s black, white, and red plumage appears heavily fluffed up, especially around the chest and sides, giving it a puffed and slightly messy appearance. The background is a soft green blur of foliage.
小雨の中、木の幹に縦向きにとまるアカゲラ。黒・白・赤の羽毛は胸や脇を中心に大きく膨らんでおり、全体的にふわっと乱れたような姿に見える。背景は緑色の葉のボケ。

I went to check on our area's nesting storks this week. These 3 chicks are growing fast, thanks to parents who take it in turns to feed them regurgitated worms and insects (I know). For the #FoodinBeaks theme of today's #BirdoftheDay by @robcrank68.bsky.social. More in +ALT. #photography #birds

I live near the Dombes region of south-eastern France. Its many lakes and ponds are a year round destination for thousands of both resident and migrating White Storks. A tall observation tower in our biggest nature reserve offers sweeping views of dozens of tree-top nests.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FirstWingbeat. Okay, technically this may not be the first wingbeat… but close enough 😎🪶 And the alt theme is #BusyBirds, so I think this cormorant definitely qualifies 😄 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #GreatCormorant #カワウ #birds #野鳥

A Great Cormorant runs across the surface of the water during take-off. One wing is raised high while its feet still touch the water, creating small splashes behind it. Bright reflections from sunlight sparkle across the calm water surrounding the bird.
水面を走るようにして飛び立つカワウ。片方の翼を高く上げ、足はまだ水面に触れていて後方に小さな水しぶきが見える。穏やかな水面には陽光の反射が点々と輝いている。

🪶 Rob has chosen #BestOfTheMonth for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. I had a good May; lots of great sightings. I’ve gone with Cuckoo, GS Woodpecker and Buzzard for today. #birds #birdsofbluesky #birdphotography #ECK #irishbirding #naturephotography #ColorADay #GreenSat

A Great Spotted Woodpecker with a grub in its beak. He bird is perched on the side of a dead elm tree; the tree is to the left of the frame and the birds left side can be seen as it perches upright on it. A fat white grub can be seen in its beak.
The background is out of focus green woodland, dappled with light

A Common Buzzard in flight; the bird has its wings open wide as its banks slightly. It is to the left of the frame, travelling to the right.
The sunshine is coming from behind and left of the camera and lighting up the birds head and underbelly.
The background is a grey/blue sky

A small green heron scratching its feathers. Tiny white feathers float in the air all around it. For the #birdoftheday theme of #bestofthemonth. #birds #heron #greenheron #protectnature #EastCoastKin

A green heron stands on a branch over the water. The bird has its longish feathers on its head slightly up giving the appearance of a mohawk. Its beak is open and one foot slightly raised. It had been scratching and there are tiny white feathers in the air as a result
