The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Finches which gives me the perfect excuse to post pics of Hawfinch, including photobombing Chaffinch and Wryneck!

Atlantic Birding's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #GoldenSun.
Here's a #Wryneck that was a lovely surprise to find in Banc D'arguin in Mauritania. It was not a bird I was expecting to see in a desert.
This was taken on Saturday with a sunset walk around the camp.

Day 3 of our Isles of Scilly tour started with a WRYNECK and some lovely JACK SNIPE before we concluded with PRICKLY STICK INSECT and a rather nice cream tea! #BirdsSeenIn2026 #scillybirding #birds #birding #ukbirding #scilly @britishnatureguide.bsky.social

Must say a big thank you to @jamiepartridge.bsky.social and all the birders on St Agnes and especially to Paul Clarke on St Marys and to Dave Jackson and the gang at the Peninnis allotments Wryneck twitch for letting me piggy-back on to their viewing arrangements with Paul. #TeamMoth are the best!

Top day at Soglitelle. All the action was in the nets. Star bird was Savi’s Warbler. The 2nd for the season, but the 1st I’ve been present for. My only previous bird was hearing a reeling bird in Co Wexford a few years back. Wryneck is unusual here, and Sand Martin is very late. #birds #birdingitaly

Eurasian Wryneck (Jynx torquilla), Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, Algarve, Portugal, October 2026. I've seen one Wryneck previous to this, for about one second in the middle of a bush in France a decade ago.

That’s a brilliant encounter—getting a clear view of a wryneck in the Ria Formosa is a rare treat. They blend in so well with the branches, most people walk straight past. October light makes those markings stand out beautifully.

It's @helenbennett.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay today and her theme is #Green, any birds or backgrounds that have Green in them.
The Alt theme is #Geese, and Goose/Geese will do.
Here's a Wryneck, in Spain I think, and some Barnacle Geese at Musselburgh last week.

Wryneck West Bexington along the coastal path below Long House...
The Wryneck proved to be reasonably confiding and was still on the coastal path below Long House when we left it at around 9.30, but was working its way slowly west.

With amazing views of a Little Stint off Powderham sea wall this morning, together with a juvenile Osprey fishing on the Exe and good company made a nice couple of hours.
Sadly we missed a Wryneck by 5 mins ☹️.

Very close Little Stint below the Powderham Sea Wall, Exe Estuary. Very confiding, giving great views. Lots of local birders on site, who found a Wryneck feeding on the muds earlier but was not relocated after it flew into field. #UKBirding
