Rob's choice of #BirdOfTheDay today is #BestOfTheMonth I think my best was this sweet little #Gadwall taken on 7th September, down by the river but I can't decide which side profile I like best. 😁 #birds

Rob has chosen #BestOfTheMonth as #BirdOfTheDay theme today; your best shot for September. I’ve chosen this close up of a Mute Swan. I was using a zoom lens at a distance, so there was no stress was caused to the Swan, or the photographer ! 😉

A Mute Swan looks at the camera while facing left. It has a distinctive white head and neck with black around its bill, which is orangey pink. The background is green grass.

For #BirdOfTheDay my #BestOfTheMonth picks are a kingfisher on the sea front & a black-headed gull dipping its beak in the sea.

#bokehbirds #BirdOfTheDay Northern Cardinal up close, background greenery out of focus. #birds #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching

Brilliant red male northern cardinal bird up close in light and shadow that are at a diagonal across it’s chest. The blur in the background gives a nice bokeh, mostly because of the way the shadow follows the same line, bringing balance while also enhancing the intensity and starkness of this bright red tufted bird.

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.
