Here is the energetic and only songbird that swims: the American Dipper. I couldn’t think of a better bird for #BirdofThDay #SplashingAround

1/2 Kestrel - Peak Hunting Effort
Coming down the track to the cottage just now there was a Kestrel hunting with huge intensity. It was focussed on the narrow hedge/field margin, looking for a vole or mouse in that niche where fallen fruit/seeds are more abundant.

I'm going with the Alt theme of #Corvids for my #BirdOfThDay, with this slightly grubby looking Rook (Corvus frugilegus).

A heavily built all black bird with a thick beak that is pale towards the base and darkens towards the tip. It's perched on a wooden fence rail facing the camera but looking to the right. Its legs and some feathers seem to be covered in sand.

Wishing the theme today was #JuvenileWoodDuck since I spotted on on a hike yesterday. This little one was quite curious about the old guy with the camera.

Pretty happy with this shot.

"Now look what you've done, you made me drop it"

Bempton 2025. A commotion above the cliffs. 3 gulls #fighting over a stolen Razorbill's (I think) egg - see ALT
canon R5 500mm f/7.1 1:5000s ISO640

#BirdOfThDay #birds #FlyDay #UKbirding #UKbirds #EastCoastKin #Yorkshire
The cliffs at Bempton were alive with nesting birds making a cacophony of sound that sometimes made it hard to think, but above the rose loud gull sounds, 3 birds fighting then something falling. The blue egg fell, pointy end first, looking like a tiny hot air balloon as the gulls wheeled round into a dive to try and retrieve it. I couldn't see if they succeeded or if it smashed on the waves below. Photo shows 3 gulls, one, sideways-on, braking in mid air, the other 2 flying away from the camera the adult gull just heading into a dive. In the right lower corner is a falling egg. Auk eggs can be very varied in colour and although Guillemot eggs are more likely to be blue than Razorbill eggs the shape is more in keeping with a Razorbill (chunkier) than a Guillemot (more slender)

This is Charlie, a juvenile #GreatBlueHeron, aka Don Quixote.This is another shot from his terrifying “REED BATTLE ROYALE.” I love the curl of feathers on his/her? right wing.

A juvenile Great Blue Heron stands in shallow, rippling water, wings raised high and half-folded above its back in a moment of unbalanced motion. The wings dominate the upper left of the frame — layered slate-grey and blue-grey feathers fanning outward, the primaries splayed like spread fingers, individual barbs catching the light. The bird's body is a mottled grey-white, fluffy and slightly disheveled, with rain-like flecks of pale streaking down the chest. The long neck curves down and to the right in an S-shape, ending in a heavy yellow-grey dagger bill that grips a thin willow branch. Green willow leaves trail from the stick down into the water. The head is pale grey with a spiky black crest and a bright yellow eye ringed dark. Two thin legs plunge into water thrown up in spray and droplets around them. The background is soft-focus green water, a fallen log along the top edge, and blades of reed grass entering from the upper right. Bottom left: "©Gregory Rothman 2025." - That stick-battle is likely practice, not play with purpose — young herons rehearse nest-material handling and bill dexterity long before they'll ever build one. - Herons have specialized "powder down" feathers on the chest that crumble into a fine dust; they use it with a comb-like serrated middle claw to blot fish slime off their plumage. - The S-curve neck is structural: an elongated sixth vertebra acts as a hinge, letting the head fire forward like a released spring. - Despite a six-foot wingspan, an adult weighs only about 5–6 pounds. - Their eyes shift toward binocular vision at night — they hunt in near-darkness comfortably. - Great Blue Herons are essentially monomorphic — males average slightly larger with a marginally thicker bill, but the ranges overlap so heavily that a single photo can't tell you. The plumage does reveal is age: the solid dark crown (no white crown stripe), lack of long head and breast plumes, and the shaggy, loosely streaked neck all mark this as a juvenile.

California Wild Turkey: One of my most surprising bird encounters. My husband was in the hospital in Pleasanton, CA, (a San Francisco bedroom city) & after his surgery I went back to my room at the Marriott hotel & discovered this bold fellow cruising around the hotel!
