A stunning male Bluethroat photographed at Sumburgh, glowing cobalt blue throat, chestnut flanks, and full of character in the spring light and fog. A brilliant migrant to encounter in Shetland. #migrantbirds #bluethroat #shetland #birdingshetland

For sale on my little Etsy store – "Shell Nature Studies: September Flyway" in excellent condition. "An Autumn rush of migrants...driven across the North Sea." www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...
"Coasting down Scotland's chain of northern islands and East Highland shores, comes an autumn rush of migrants, many driven across the North Sea by the prevailing easterly winds. Hatched this year in Lapland, a juvenile red-spotted bluethroat crouches in the shelter of the brambles; also from Scandinavia comes a member of the 'white' or continental race of the pied wagtail and that big, noisy thrush, the fieldfare. The snow-buntings may have come from Iceland, the Lapland bunting from Greenland. On passage to the warm Mediterranean and Africa are our familiar willow- and garden-warblers, and the rare barred warbler from Western Siberia, most frequent in Britain in the north isles at migration-time. Refuelling on the oat-stook is an Africa-bound turtle-dove; above it hawks a red-backed shrike. Often in September the common heron wanders north from its breeding-grounds. The herring-gulls, residents through the year and opportunists always, glean among the stubbles."

A formation of cranes soars through the sky, their silhouettes sharply defined against a backdrop of soft, billowing clouds. Their wings are outstretched, each bird maintaining a steady rhythm as they navigate the open air. The muted tones of the sky add a sense of tranquility and vastness, emphasizing the elegance of their flight.

@robcrank68.bsky.social set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme and it is #GoodLight and the Alt Theme is #Gulls.

Fieldfare, our garden in #EastAnglia, UK. January 2025

#Birds #MigrantBirds #Photography #EastCoastKin
A Fieldfare stands on frost crusted decking in our back garden. It is standing with it's back to low winter sun and casts a long shadow across the icy decking. It has a a grey head and back, yellow beak and a yellow circle around it's eye. Around it's 'shoulders the feathers are medium brown making it look like it is wearing a stole. It's wings are dark brown and black.

Delighted to have a blackcap hunting insects in my huge buddleja! As bird enthusiasts will know, they have begun to spend winters with us in the UK, & I still regard their elegant heads, black, (male) or warm chestnut (female) with excitement. I wish you happy hunting! #blackcap #migrantbirds

Today’s bird of the day is sea birds

Here’s a group of wandering tattlers or ‘Ūlili (Tringa incana), taken near Diamond Head in Hawai’i last October. They winter in Hawai’i and summer in Alaska. Not bad choices really

A photograph of three birds on a sandy beach. The birds are mainly grey with lighter underbellies. They have long legs and beaks. One is using its long beak to poke into the sand.

Afternoon All !

@alan678.bsky.social has set the #BirdOfTheDay theme today and it is #branchingout, birds on branches. The alternative is #waders wading birds.

Taken on a cold wet day in January the Fieldfare is sitting on a branch of a Guelder Rose where it has been feeding on the red berries. Rain is falling and it has formed droplets on the feather of the bird. The fieldfare is a large member of the thrush family and is slightly bigger than a blackbird. It has a characteristic blue-grey head with a yellow beak, brown-grey wings and a speckled breast. Each year, thousands of fieldfares leave Scandinavia and even Russia to spend the winter in the comparatively mild UK. The birds typically begin to arrive in September and nearly all will have left by late April.

Lesser yellow-legs was a welcomed transatlantic tick on Bryher yesterday. But two lesserlegs today on Tresco felt a bit greedy. Only slightly eased by 4 yellow legs turning into 3 when one became one-legged. #ukbirding #migrantbirds

Morning All !

Day 13 of #MyPhotoAdvent2025, a photo a day of my favourite captures of 2025... with an explanation in Alt Text of my reason for choosing it.

These are photos that, for one reason or another, give me pleasure.

#Birds #MigrantBirds #EastAnglia #Photography #EastCoastKin
I chose this one because it makes me laugh. Taken in our garden in January 2025, a Fieldfare is stomping across frost covered decking, it has one foot raised in the air as if about to bring thudding down on the deck. It has a really grumpy expression on it's face. It's almost as if it has been mortally insulted and is walking off in high dudgeon.

The #nguliaringing project has been studying #migrantbirds for >55 years producing what must be one of the leading #bird migration datasets in Africa with >600,000 #birds ringed. We'll be posting daily updates on bsky for those keen to follow the ringing & hopefully in the birds profile #addBirder
