Is this the #BestBeaks of all #BirdOfTheDay? Maybe not, but it is beautiful.

Here's a Four-year-old Gannet for #EFG. Note the classic piano key feathers showing this dude is not old enough to drink yet. Who knew my Saturday trip to @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs was going to be so useful for #BirdOfTheDay.

Gannet flying above the ocean. He has black strips on the back of his wings showing he isn't quite mature yet.

My personal fav #BestOfTheMonth is this fluffy young swan I took on Aug 1. I like the wispy feathers and the light on the water. #BirdOfTheDay

I’m going to call this a #BirdOfTheDay twofer. The white around this puffin’s eye forms a lovely circle for #CirclesAndSpheres plus he poses nicely against the sea backdrop for #StrikeAPose

Stuck inside due to the Trump sponsored cyclospora outbreak from my recent Michigan trip BUT still got to enjoy an awesome eclipse (and I’m fine now)
