Kingfisher are just so photogenic! I watched this one at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre, Gloucestershire (UK). It caught three small fish and returned to the same perch each time, before deciding that it had had its fill for a while. (24.09.26) #glosbirds #ukwildlife #birds @wwtsightings.bsky.social

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Raptors; any bird of prey. A super choice from Atlantic Birding - creating a good reason to post two more pictures of a Kestrel I saw a couple of weeks ago at Severn Beach! 🙂 #avonbirding #ukwildlife #birds @atlanticbirding.bsky.social

The wind ran through Girdle Ness today and birds were seeking respite. A Whimbrel hunkered with Curlews on the rocks. A Ruff, my first of the year, and a Bar-tailed Godwit found the golf course meadow facsimile appealing. #Birds #BirdingScotland #PatchBirding #UKWildlife

I have been away for a few days, but my wife and I managed a fleeting encounter with a juvenile Osprey, from the Tower hide this evening. The corvids drove it away before it could catch a fish, but it was great to see it in the golden light of the setting sun. #SeatonWetlands #Devonbirds

Curlew Sandpiper at Titchwell today, a real treat to see one close in rather than half a mile away on the Lancashire saltmarsh. #ukbirding #birds

A small and elegant wader, peachy buff with brown upper plumage in colour. Its bill is decurved and black, and it has a strong white eyestripe

Having dipped the spotted crake at Upton Warren a few weeks ago, Kev Heath and I headed to RSPB Titchwell Marsh and finally connected - with two, in fact. A bonus curlew sandpiper rounded things off nicely @birdguides.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #UKbirding.

Black-winged Kites from Manche, Normandy last week. The absolute highlight of my morning walks, I'd pinned a site that I thought I might see one, never in a million years did I think I'd see as many as 6 in one morning! They were an everyday feature seemingly everywhere I birded within a 20km radius
