Today’s alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Perched, birds standing on anything except branches. I’ve chosen this vibrant greenfinch 💚 #britishbirds #ukbirding #wildlifephotography #birds #photography #wildlife #featheredfriends

A male greenfinch perched on a bird feeder.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

Greenfinches are large, chunky finches that are mostly olive-green, but with a yellow patch on the wings and tail. Females are grey-green with less yellow.

Happy Monday, birders! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlueSkies. Here’s a young goldfinch, captured earlier this year against a bright summer sky. #birds #wildlifephotography #britishwildlife

A juvenile goldfinch perched on thin branches against a vibrant, clear blue sky.

From The RSPB:

Juvenile Goldfinches have a streaky brown body and head, and lack the red, black and white markings seen on the face of adults.

For #BirdOfTheDay theme #BestBeaks, the elusive Snipe (Gallinago gallinago). The tip of their beak is flexible and filled with nerves, helping them to locate worms deep underground. #wildifephotography #birds

A snipe standing at the edge of a muddy reed bed. Facing the camera with their head looking over their shoulder.

From The Wildlife Trusts:

Snipe are brown, with an intricate pattern of black and gold bars, and a stripy brown and gold head. They have short, greyish-green legs and a very long, straight bill. The snipe is smaller than the similar-looking woodcock and is a bird of grasslands and moorlands, rather than woodlands.

Good Morning & Happy Friday Everyone! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Mouthful; any bird with anything in its beak Alt. is #Black; any bird with black plumage - A Rook delicately holding an acorn #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography #ForestFriday #Flyday

A Rook perched on a bare branch holding an acorn in its beak. The bird is left of centre of the frame, facing right with its head turned back to the left. The acorn is being held by the stem so the acorn and cup are hanging from the end of the beak.
The bird is a large, stocky corvid; it has a long, slender, pointed beak and its plumage is all black. The shoulder and underparts have a purple-violet sheen from the bright sunshine.
The Rook is on a small, thin branch with clumps of thick lichen growing along it. It is extended towards the camera towards the right side of the shot. Five larger branches are in the background; all vertical, bare and covered in lichen, against a clear blue sky

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ThinPerches. Last weekend I saw my first wheatear! It’s always exciting to add another bird to my life list. #birds #photography #wildlifephotography #britishwildlife #hiking

A female wheatear perched on barbed wire against a blurred green background.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

A summer visitor, the wheatear is a handsome chat, with black cheeks, white eyestripes, a blue back and a pale orange chest. Look for it on upland heaths and moors.

The wheatear has a characteristic tail pattern: a black 'T' on a white rump, which can be seen when it is in flight. Males are smart-looking birds, with blue-grey backs and heads, black wings, black cheeks with white eyestripes, and pale orange chests. Females are browner and juveniles speckled.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StrikeAPose - birds caught in a particularly photogenic pose. Kestrel, captured yesterday at Wye National Nature Reserve in the Kent Downs 📸 #birds #falcon #wildlifephotography

A kestrel perched on a lichen encrusted stick in a field of golden grass.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

The kestrel is a little larger than a feral pigeon and can be found in all kinds of habitats, from open countryside to towns and villages. They nest in holes in trees, old buildings and abandoned crows' nests, laying between four and five eggs. When they hatch, both parents help to feed the young chicks.

Kestrels are typically seen hovering, their pointed wings held out. Males have a grey head and tail with a prominent black band, a gingery-brown back and a creamy underside which is speckled with black. Females are similar, but with a more uniform brown back and dark bands on the tail.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NoBranchWood - any bird on wood, that is not a branch! So, please enjoy this stunning chaffinch on wood chip. #birds #britishwildlife #nature #photography #outdoors

A photograph of a male chaffinch standing on wood chip. His beak is open and he’s eating small seeds.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

The male chaffinch is one of the most colourful garden birds with a blue-grey crown, brown back and pink breast. Females are brown, but are less streaky than female house sparrows, and have white shoulder patches and wingbars.

The chaffinch is also known as the 'bachelor finch': the males spend the winter near to their breeding territories, while the females migrate further south.

Diver or dabbler? 🦆 Ducks can be split into two groups: divers and dabblers. As their name suggests, divers dive for their food. Dabblers feed at the surface and sometimes graze on land. They’re often seen in water with their butts in the air. #BirdOfTheDay #Ducktopia #ducks #photography

A female gadwall standing with her back to the camera on the bank of a lake. Blurred blue water is behind her.

The gadwall is an example of a dabbling duck.

From All About Birds -

Female gadwalls are mottled brown and buff—resembling a female mallard—with a thinner dark bill edged in orange. Both sexes share a square white patch on their wings.

A male tufted duck sat on pebbles.

Tufted ducks are divers.

The tufted duck is very distinctive: the female is entirely chocolate-brown, while the male is black with white flanks and a long tuft at the back of the head.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestFootForward- any bird taking a step forward or standing on one leg. Please enjoy some goose ballet from this beautiful Greylag. #wildlifephotography #britishwildlife #goose #birds

A photograph of a Greylag goose in shallow water, standing on one leg, the other leg outstretched behind her. She’s facing to the left and looking up slightly to the sky. Another goose stands to her right and there are several ducks in the water too. She looks regal, the sun is hitting her beautifully and she commands attention.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

The greylag goose is a large, pale grey goose with pink legs and an orange bill.

Our commonest native goose, the greylag goose can be very territorial while nesting, chasing other geese and large birds away from its nesting site. Greylag geese become sociable again once the chicks have hatched, with several families of goslings sometimes grouping together. Greylag geese have short bills and prefer to graze pasture and meadows where cattle or sheep are grazing. They will also take grain, root crops and leafy vegetation.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Borb, any bird appearing larger than it should be. Here’s an extra fluffy reed bunting. Happy Thursday everyone ♥︎ #cuteanimals #birds #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #britishwildlife #britishbirds #birdwatching #photography

A male reed bunting perched on twigs. His feathers are puffed out and fluffy, making him look rounder than usual. The background is blurry, vibrant green.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

The reed bunting is a streaky brown bird. In summer, the males have black heads and black throats extending down into a bib, with a white collar and white 'moustache'. In winter the head is mostly brown, though the white collar and 'moustache' are still obvious. The throat becomes pale, though there are usually traces of the dark bib still visible.

Female buntings, including female yellowhammers and reed buntings, can be very difficult to tell apart. Female reed buntings have a pale throat and 'moustache', separated by a dark streak that reaches the base of the beak. They lack the yellowish hues of a female yellowhammer.

A white throat perched on bramble with a beak full of caterpillars.

From The Woodland Trust -

As the name suggests, a clear white throat is the key distinguishing feature of this otherwise grey-brown bird. Males have a grey head and a more prominent throat patch than females, which have a brownish head.

Whitethroats are roughly the size of a great tit and have a long, flicking tail. Not to be confused with the lesser whitethroat, which is smaller, much less common and has dark cheek feathers.
