Slowly coming back down to earth after finding this Siberian Blue Robin in our garden here at Hillwell, Shetland last week. The 5th British record and only the 7th for the Western Palearctic. A Holy Grail moment for sure. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

Even the most beautiful days must surrender to the dark. Just like this sunset, relationships have a natural horizon where the light gently fades, leaving behind a sky stained with memories of what once was. 💙 #bluesky #love

A bill with a built-in sunrise. 😃 Helen’s pick for #BirdOfTheDay is #BestBeaks #Birds #ECK #CommonGallinule
Close-up of a common gallinule at the water’s edge, its dark charcoal-gray head and neck bent downward as it drinks. Its long, pointed beak is vivid red near the face, fading through orange to a bright yellow tip touching the water. A small red ring surrounds its eye. The bird’s beak and head are reflected in the calm blue-gray water, broken by gentle ripples.

Saw this dark red dawn from the parking lot at work. But minutes count in a sunrise pic. It was gone by the time I made it to the break room. So I have stubbornly added back the red sky. 😤😂

A great egret picks up a feather that was floating in the water. A simple moment made more dramatic by the light of sunrise. For the #birdoftheday theme of #EFG #birds #egret #heron #protectnature #EastCoastKin
A great egret in silhouette.   The sun is rising behind it so the sky and water reflect an orange hue.
The reflection of the bird is clear as it picks up a feather from the water.  It quickly dropped it.

Managed to follow one of the 2nd-brood Swallowtail (Papilio machaon) larvae we have been observing feeding on Hemlock (Conium maculatum) through to pupation. The pupa now 'just' has 8-10 months ahead to avoid predation plus natural and man-made disasters! #swallowtail #britannicus

After a year when I've seen more UK Clouded Yellow butterflies than ever before, mostly zipping past at high speed while I've been recording grassland quadrats, yesterday one finally stopped in front of me to nectar on Common Stork's-bill at Snettisham Beach

Good morning from Marbury. This morning I am thankful for having a safe place to live, in a village with kind, people, surrounded by such beauty, which I am lucky enough to be able to explore for hours everyday. Hope you all have something to be thankful for this morning 😊

An #elegant Snowy Egret in breeding plumage for the #BirdoftheDay. #birds #Florida
A lovely Snowy Egret in breeding plumage stands out against a very dark green background, showing off the beautiful feather plumes on top of their head. The bird is looking to the right in profile and into the distance. Their eye is yellow, surrounded by bright red/pink color which goes to the black beak. Light is shining from the right. In front of the bird are branches of green elderberry.
