For today's #birdoftheday theme #steppingout, an incredible Cream-coloured Courser taken yesterday in the desert on @naturetrek.bsky.social Birding Southern Morocco tour, one of about 20 birds! #BirdsSeenIn2026
I think the highlight today on the @naturetrek.bsky.social tour in Iceland - Northern Lights and Winter Wildlife - was this fine drake King Eider encountered at Ytri Tunga...🪶#icelandwildlife...☺️
I was wondering what this Skylark was finding to eat on the beach at RSPB Minsmere
Zoom in to see 😊

Slavonian Grebe this morning at Ravensthorpe Reservoir. Only picked it up when I was within 10m of it: a very welcome surprise (& a site tick for me). #northantsbirds #ukbirding
😊👍🏻
Lovely images, I think your Curlew is a Whimbrel...😊

Aberrant Pink-footed Goose with white-fronted ambitions
Pair of Tundra Bean Geese with Pink-footed Geese
Chinese Water Deer on its way through a flock of Pink-footed Geese and a shy Todd's Canada Goose
An Egmere piggery #CaspianGull by the road on the way to the pub was bird of the day until I checked the Honey Hills geese: Todd's Canada Goose, 17+ Tundra Beans, Russian Whitefront and 3,000 Pinks. All the best birds in one day 😍 #norfolkbirding #ukbirding
It's so annoying that you can't correct a mistake isn't it (without writing another message)? 🙄
They normally weigh little more than 5g!!
#northantsbirds Red-throated Diver at Ravensthorpe had to go back and see in the sun
There are few birds better than a Red-flanked Bluetail & the wintering Crockham Hill bird was a typical (& occasionally showy) stunner this morning. Surprisingly only my 2nd in my old home county of Kent, after my first ever on its eastern extent at Bockhill back in my teens, many moons ago...
A misty morning

I wasn't optimistic about my chances of seeing the Red-throated Diver first thing this morning at Ravensthorpe in the fog. Luckily it popped up only a couple of meters off the dam and was showing well. County tick 199 for me. #northantsbirds #birds #ukbirding
😊
I think it should read Eurasian Tree Sparrow...😊
Red-throated Diver this evening at Ravensthorpe Reservoir. Glad I called in for a quick end-of-day check. A county tick for me. #northantsbirds
Another miserable day yesterday. 4 white fronts, 5 oystercatcher and 16 redpoll the best of the birds at Stanwick. The obliging otter again on the brook - this is the what happens when wild animals feel safe! #Northantsbirds
Back for some more Great Grey Shrike action, In better light!

A Spotted Sandpiper in non-breeding plumage on the beach at Anse Chastanet in St Lucia.
I’ve just discovered #BirdOfTheDday and today’s theme is #Walking so here’s a Spotted Sandpiper taken this week in St Lucia on the @naturetrek.bsky.social tour. #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇱🇨
Great Grey Shrike at Fillingham, Lincs right now. It was reported as singing this morning, but I wasn't prepared for hovering 🩶
Speechless!

3 Caspian Gulls in this image, the 2 right hand birds and the top bird.
A Black Guillemot very rare at Dungeness came past the sea watch hide in a force 7 SSE with rain, despite mine & Richards best effort to get my camera on it I failed, but it lives in the memory, an itch well scratched. 5 Caspian Gulls at the fishing boats this afternoon with DW.
