Redwing post-bathing feather care.
Notice how the bird occasionally turns & picks-up oil from the preen gland, (uropygial gland), at the base of the tail.

Unmistakable shape of an adult #Rook with its greyish skin around the bill. An infrequent visitor to our #garden but 3 popped in together. @btobirds.bsky.social ringing records indicate oldest known bird reached 22 yrs & 11 months & average lifespan is 6yrs

No Woodies, Blackies or Magpies in garden this am, only wee birds - Blackcap, Blue, Great, Coal and Long-tailed Tits, Sparrow, Dunnock. Glad I left feeders up (someone suggested taking them down). Blurry pics through raindroppy @birdinglothian.bsky.social @btoscotland.bsky.social #GardenBirdwatch

I, too, have been missing and keenly watching for blackbirds on my weekly GardenBirdWatch return for BTO. (First Year doing it.)
Enjoyed this informative chat. 💚

lovely to see a little black cap in the garden this morning. I have seen them before but a good few years ago now. Why don't they come visit on Bird Watch weekend that would have been a nice tick on my list 🤣 #blackcap #gardenbirds #gardenbirdwatch #nature

Fortunate to have a #Songthrush pair hanging around for the summer (hopefully) … generally keeping cover in the flower borders but occasionally a little braver. The upturned hearts on their breast are very distinctive. A real beauty.

The #starlings were certainly enjoying their bird bath this afternoon - they soon empty it with all their splashing around. We’re lucky to regularly have them in the #garden - sometimes up to 40 at a time.
