#BirdOfTheDay : the theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying. I wonder why these seagulls keep their wings open as they make their way over the wet sand and mud at low tide.

Two seagulls, seen from behind, walk on wet sand and mud on the beach of La Baule, France. They have their wings open, one of them both, the other one only one wing.

#BirdOfTheDay #Black&Red Pesquet's Parrot in a spacious walk through aviary. Archive photo #Parrot #bird #photography #EastCoastKin #ECK 🪶 #wildlife Please see ALT for more information on this interesting species.

The Pesquet's parrot (Psittrichas fulgidus) is also known as the bare faced parrot or the Vulturine parrot and is one of three parrot species lacking feathers on its face. Their diet is almost completely composed of fruit such as figs, climbing pandanus and mangoes (Juniper and Parr 1998). It is believed that the featherless face is an adaptation to eating messy soft fruits to prevent the clumping of feathers. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and its habitat consists of montane primary and secondary forest from 600-1200m above sea level, but occasionally as high as 2000m and as low as 50m. This species is classed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List with the decreasing population trend.

Pretending Monday isn't here... 📷️ @aintright.bsky.social

A Dipper stands in a shallow stream with its head completely submerged beneath the water, leaving only its rounded back, folded wings and tail visible above the surface. Small ripples spread around the bird as it searches underwater, creating the comical impression that it's pretending not to be there.

Tap into your creative side for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme: #BirdsInAbstract From motion blur, obscure angles, or contrasting textures, anything goes! Show us your interpretation! 😊 Here's my contribution-can you guess who she is? 📷 🪶 It's open house, so no Alt theme today! Happy Saturday🕊️

An abstract close-up photograph emphasising starkly contrasting textures and geometric form rather than the literal identity of the subject. A sharp, wedge-like shape cuts horizontally across the lower half of the frame against a softly blurred, warm tan background. It is slate-grey in colour with subtle, marble-like blue highlights, mimicking the appearance of cast metal or polished stone. The upper portion of the image is dominated by a dense, fibrous texture of warm brown, velvety dense short bristles. The composition relies entirely on minimalism and form. The overall effect strips away the context of the natural world, transforming an intimate biological detail into a study of line, shape, and surface texture. This abstract framing also can trick the brain into finding a hidden face within texture and line. The entire image shifts from a literal biological close-up into a peaceful, minimalist portrait of what could be a sleeping creature!

Good Morning & Happy Friday Everyone! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Mouthful; any bird with anything in its beak Alt. is #Black; any bird with black plumage - A Rook delicately holding an acorn #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography #ForestFriday #Flyday

A Rook perched on a bare branch holding an acorn in its beak. The bird is left of centre of the frame, facing right with its head turned back to the left. The acorn is being held by the stem so the acorn and cup are hanging from the end of the beak.
The bird is a large, stocky corvid; it has a long, slender, pointed beak and its plumage is all black. The shoulder and underparts have a purple-violet sheen from the bright sunshine.
The Rook is on a small, thin branch with clumps of thick lichen growing along it. It is extended towards the camera towards the right side of the shot. Five larger branches are in the background; all vertical, bare and covered in lichen, against a clear blue sky

Morning & Happy Monday Everyone! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Herons&Egrets; any Heron or Egret shot Alt. is #Borbs; any bird that looks round, chubby, spherical etc. - Grey Heron on a riverbank - close up of a large , round Dunnock #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography

A Grey Heron sitting on a riverbank. The bird is left of centre of frame, looking right so that its right side is visible.
It hand along, sharp, orange beak, darker on top near the head. I had a white head with a large, dark stripe across the eye, ending is a crest at the back of the head. Its neck is tucked into its body and is a greyish white. Its back and wings are a light grey, with a darker grey at the edges of the wings. Its legs and tail are obscured by a mound of exposed riverbed in the foreground. The background is of the river, which has a brown tinge but is clear enough to see a sandy bottom near the bird, darker elsewhere.

A Dunnock taken in close up. The bird is facing the camera directly and takes up almost the entire height of the shot, the small wooden post it is perched on can just be seen at the bottom of the picture.
It has a grey head and neck with brown cheek patches. Its sides are brown with black streaks and its chest is grey, turning to white underneath. It is facing the camera directly, so that both eyes can been seen and it has its feathers puffed out to give it a very round appearance.
The background is an out of focus white, with a dark stripe in the upper left hand corner

Ring-billed gulls and Black skimmers stand on shadowed sand with two patched of green grass. Behind the birds is blue water lined by green grass and a line of trees. In the water is the fin of a dolphin. The sky is blue with white a light blue puffy clouds with a hint of a rainbow in the center.
