Thanks Helen, I love a good full-frame photo like the one you shared today, but lately I've been trying to capture more images of birds in their wider environment.

It’s #WorldShorebirdDay and this Greater Yellowlegs is celebrating with some interpretative dance! #Birds 🪶

A Greater Yellowlegs lands in a very shallow marsh. The water is very calm so there is a reflection, and the yellowlegs looks like it’s running with its one leg up and its wings out for balance. The water is green and yellow as it reflects the colour of the early Fall reeds on the shore.

Helen’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsWithBerries Any bird captured with berries, Alt: #BirdyLongLegs Any bird with legs that look way too long for its body! I’ve chosen the Alt theme with this Black-winged Stilt. Whenever I watch them wading with their long legs I’m amazed they don’t topple over !

A Black-winged Stilt walks through water towards the camera. It has black and white plumage, a long bill, and long pink/red legs.

A black tern on an overcast day gives a monochrome appearance while being a color photo. For the #birdoftheday theme of #ABCD #birds #blacktern #monochrome #protectnature #EastCoastKin

A black tern stands on a post and shakes out its feathers. It is an overcast day and rhe picture is angled slightly upward which gives the background a blank slate appearance
