A European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) enjoying a nice bit of breakfast. The alternate Dutch name 'Distelvink', translates to 'thistle finch', rather fitting isn't it? Taken this morning, Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. Enjoy! Putter 🪶 #birdoftheday #yellow #wildlife #photography #finch #sony

Sorry, but Alan's #SingForYourSupper theme for #BirdOfTheDay is just too good a match not to bring out yet another shot of the long tailed tit fledglings calling to be fed! And is it too rude to sneak them into @javajanegallery.co.uk's #SmallBirdSaturday yet again? 📍Cumbria, UK #UKwildlife #birds

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #InMotion, a bird showing any motion except flight. Here's Dowitcher (probably long-billed) foraging in a shallow area of a lake. 🪶

Possible Long-billed Dowitcher, perfectly reflected in water, walking with wings partly raised in a shallow area of a greenish lake.

A close-up portrait of a Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker clinging vertically to the trunk of a tree. The bird is facing right, with fluffed feathers and a slightly windblown crest. A small patch of red feathers is visible behind the eye. Its black-and-white patterned wings and streaked pale underparts are clearly visible against a smooth gray background.

There's a few contenders for my #bestofthemonth, but I think I'll go with this Red-legged Honeycreeper (Cyanerpes cyaneus). I just love this gorgeous little bird! Enjoy! NL: Blauwe Suikervogel #birds #birdoftheday #costarica #photography #wildlife #honeycreeper

The red-legged honeycreeper sits on a post end its beak is directed downward, looking at something below it. It's bright blue with a black mask around its eye and a black back. Its head is topped by a turquoise 'cap'. The head is in focus but its body and bright red legs are out of focus. The background is a blurry dark green.
