Thank you Helen. It was truly amazing, the longest pose I’d ever had up to that point was about two minutes which made this just simply breathtaking

Thank you Rob. He provided me with 15 minutes of photos and videos, or just simply observing the beauty of this magnificent bird 😀📷

For post #17 in this #birds thread, and for today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #AwkwardAvian, here is a Little Egret (photographed at Brandon Marsh on Saturday) who appears to walking – or maybe even dancing – on water. Loving that green footwear! #NaturePhotography #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin 🌿

Photo of a Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) who appears to be walking, or maybe even dancing, across the surface of some shallow water next to a shoreline covered with low vegetation. The bird is heading towards the right, with wings raised, neck curved in an 'S' shape, right leg out of the water, and left foot on the surface of the water. The Little Egret is one of the smaller members of the heron family, and has a long bill, neck, and legs but a short tail. Its plumage is white, its eye is pale with a black pupil and rim, is beak is black, and the legs are also black, but the feet are a pale green colour.

For #BirdOfTheDay today (main theme—birds with names beginning with any of the letters #EFG) here’s a Greenshank. This beauty provided @robcamera.bsky.social and I with lots of photo opportunities when we visited @yorkswildlife.bsky.social Filey Dams last week. #Birds #Photography #UKWildlife #ECK 🌿

Photo of a Greenshank (Tringa nebularia), a wading bird with a long beak and long legs. This one is walking towards the right of the picture, along the muddy edge of a pool of water, with head lowered as the bird looks for potential prey. The bird has a dark, blackish beak. The eye is also dark, with a pale rim. The throat and forehead are whitish, while the rest of the head, the neck and the back are white with lots of brownish speckling. The wing feathers are dark, with thin whitish borders, and the underparts are white. The legs - at least, those parts of them not covered with mud - are a greenish brown colour. Behind the bird on the muddy shore, lots of green plant stems rise upwards. The Greenshank, and the green vegetation behind the bird, are reflected on the surface of the water.

#BestOfTheMonth is the theme of today’s #BirdOfTheDay and these were very beautiful moments for me. Kingfisher, Little Egret, Glossy Ibis and Green Woodpecker. #birds #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #photography

Kingfisher perched and looking from the left side to the right side. The early morning sun lights up his beautiful orange front whilst turning the normally blue back to green

A Little Egret jumping along the shallow waters at Ham Wall. Its yellow feet hanging just above the water, and its black legs bent. The full white plumage perfectly lit in the morning sunlight

The Glossy Ibis coming in to land in the shallow waters with wings out behind its body. The sunlight is creating subtle tones of iridescence in the plumage

The Green Woodpecker takes a brief moment to pause on top of an old stump. It’s perched against sunlit foliage whilst not quite catching the sun itself, a beautiful green on green moment

A fabulous female Kingfisher, with a soft/blurry background, photographed today from the Carlton Hide at @warwickshirewt.bsky.social Brandon Marsh, for the main #BirdOfTheDay theme #BokehBirds. #Birds #BirdPhotography #UKWildlife #ECK 🌿

Photo of a female Eurasian Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) perched near the top of a small, dead branch placed on the edge of a pool of water for use by this species. Her body is facing away from us and slightly towards our left so we see her back and her left flank, but her head is turned to the right. Her back, partly covered by her wings, reflects a bright turquoise-blue colour, while the top half of her head, a broad band running back and down from the base of her beak, and her tail, are a greenish-blue, with paler blue speckles on the top of the head and along the outer edges of the wings. Her underparts are an orangey-red, and a patch of this colour also appears on the side of her head, followed by a longer patch of white, in the gap between the parts of the head coloured greenish-blue. The beak is mostly black apart from an orange area towards the base of the lower part. Her tiny feet (we can just see part of her left foot, in shadow) are red.

#BokehBirds is the main theme for #BirdOfTheDay today, making my lineup are Chiffchaff, Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Jay. #birds #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #photography

The Chiffchaff, a small Warbler, is perched centre of the photo on a thin brown branch. The whole background is a blur of soft green from nearby vegetation. The Chiffchaff is perched side on and showing off its tones of brown and soft green/yellow plumage, he his facing towards the left side of the photo.

A beautiful Nuthatch is perched on a thick broken tree trunk, his body is front facing in the picture with his head turned to the right hand side. His chestnut/orange breast is beautifully lit by the sun which also shows off his white cheek, black eye stripe and blue head. The background is a blur of white bluish light and tinged with some green.

A Great Spotted Woodpecker clings to the side of a tree trunk. His front is most white, and so too are his cheeks. He has black cap and a red patch at the back of his head which shows that this a male. His wing is a mix of black and white and so too his tail. There is also a wonderful flush of red on its lower body. The background is a wonderful glow of light green.

This photo shows the top half a Jay with its back to the shot but its head is turned sharply to the right giving a full side on view. His back is a beautiful light brown and his white cheek and throat is divided by a thick wavy black line that runs from the base of the beak. The background is a wonderful blur of light and dark green.

With their mutual preening complete, one of the Gannets started sky-pointing and swaying from side to side – a signal that bird was likely to take flight. (One more pic to come in this thread within a thread.) #SuperSeabirdSunday #Birds #UKWildlife #WildlifePhotography 🌿 #BirdOfTheDay – #Seabirds

Photo of the pair of Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) who featured in the previous post in this thread, standing on a sandy ledge on a cliff. The bird on the left has begun swaying their body from left to right; at the moment this photo was taken their body is touching that of the bird on the right, while the legs and the oustretched neck are angled towards our left and the bird's right, and the head is raised so that the bird is pointing their beak towards the sky. Gannets are mostly white, with yellow-brown colouring on the tops of their heads which runs part way down the backs and sides of their necks, and black wing-tips. Their long beaks are grey, with black lines around the edges, a further black line running along each side of the top part of the each beak, from the base almost to to the tip. In the case of the sky=pointing bird, we can also see another black line, running along the underside of the beak from base to tip. The Gannets' eyes are blue-grey, with black pupils and thick blue rims. Their legs and webbed feet are black, with a pale green line running along the top of each toe. The background is a blue-grey colour - the sea, out of focus.

The Gannet took a few steps towards the edge and crouched down, with wings partly open and at an angle. Then, lift off! Immediately after getting #airborne (today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme) the Gannet takes on a wonderful shape, with head up and tail down. #SuperSeabirdSunday #Birds #UKWildlife 🌿
