Good Morning Bluesky Folks! Yesterday while walking home from my Daily walk I spotted a Common Buzzard souring in the sky so I Captured it on my Canon EOS R50! #Birds🪶 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #NatureLover #UKBirding #WildlifePhotograph

A bird of prey, specifically a common buzzard, soars diagonally across a clear, deep blue sky with broad wings fully outstretched.
Captured from below in bright, direct sunlight, the underside of the bird reveals detailed plumage patterns:
Wings: Pale flight feathers edged with fine dark barring, dark wingtips, and distinct dark carpal (wrist) patches.
Body: A dark brown head and chest transitioning into a light, mottled brown-and-white patterned belly.
Tail & Feet: A broad, fan-shaped tail featuring subtle horizontal stripes, with bright yellow talons tucked underneath.
Head: Facing slightly downward toward the camera, highlighting a sharp hooked beak with a yellow cere.

One of the #BestBeaks I know is the beak of the Hawfinch. Almost a metallic shine, with a bite force of about 50 kg (which I wish they would use on the wood pigeons 😁). This is a juvenile. Helen’s #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

A presumed Oriental Cuckoo perched on a thin branch, facing right. Its brown plumage has extensive pale barring and streaking, with a yellow eye-ring and orange-yellow bill. The long tail is barred with alternating dark and pale bands.

A juvenile Spotted Flycatcher perched on the stump of a small branch against the blurry forest.
The bird is slightly left of centre of the frame, facing right so that its right side is showing. It has a thin black beak with a dull grey-brown head with light streaking. Its back is grey-brown with buff spots on the back and wing feathers. Its chest is whitish with grey streaks, turning whiter towards the underbelly.
The bird is perched on top of a cut branch and its tail is partly obscured by a small branch in the bottom left hand corner.
The background is an out of focus green of forest vegetation, with patches of out of focus dappled light.

Good morning! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background, like this lovely Long-Tailed Tit. Bonus points for any bokeh balls! ☺️🪶📷️ Alt: #AwkwardAvian - any bird captured in a silly, clumsy or strange position! Happy Monday everyone! 🕊️ 👋

A photograph of a long-tailed tit a small, round bird facing towards the right. The bird has a fluffy white head and chest, accented by a broad, dark black stripe that runs over the top of its head from its bill to its back. A hint of soft pink coloration tints its flanks and shoulders. Its bill is tiny and dark, and its eye is framed by a faint yellowish ring. The bird is nestled among several bare, light grey tree branches that cut diagonally across the scene the one above slightly shadowing its head. Two prominent branches cross behind and below the bird, while a softer, out-of-focus branch arches over the top left corner of the frame. The background is a soft, blurred wash of light blue, lilac and pale buff coloured bokeh, with some bokeh balls from the bright, open sky filtering sunlight through the woodland canopy.

For this weeks #SquirrelSaturday I have a Red Squirrel I disturbed on the forest path yesterday. It climbed the nearest tree and let me know it wasn’t happy; from a safe distance! #naturetherapy #naturephotography #ECK #redsquirrel #squirrel #sqrlpix #ireland #irishwildlife

A Red Squirrel peering around the trunk of a tree in the sunshine. The animal is centre of the shot and its head and upper body are visible from behind the tree trunk to the right.
It has red fur, a little darker at the top of its head. The left side of its head and shoulder are lit up in the sunshine and its long whiskers can be seen against the blue sky. It has a beige coloured eye ring and muzzle and the fingers on the right hand can just be seen against the tree trunk.
The tree trunk travels along the right of the shot, tapering off towards the top. It has a light covering of green moss and some small branches can be seen in front of it. The background is a blue/white sky
