I think this is probably the best photo I have ever taken? Chiffchaff looking at its reflection at the local spring. What do you all think? Hopefully I might get a re-post or two? View full screen. #birds #birdphotography

My wife & I have just returned from an amazing trip to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand & Hong Kong. A total of 512 birds species seen & my wife does not birdwatch! Almost all self found. This is a Masked Shrike from a stop over in Qatar. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026

Here’s a few more birds from southern #Algeria Was really pleased to see Eastern Subalpine Warbler - a rare bird but likely underreported in the area. Other pics: Pale Crag Martin, White-crowned Wheatear & Brown-necked Raven. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #nikon #birding

The Bluethroat is a small songbird known for the bright blue patch obn the male's throat. Despite its striking appearance, it can be difficult to spot because it often stays hidden in dense vegetation near wetlands, During the breeding season, males sing from exposed perches or while performing short display flights.

A white-tailed kite is perched atop a snag, one foot slightly raised showing its talons.

A gray hawk is perched on the branch of a tree.

A Harris's hawk is perched on a wire.

Certainly not my best shots as distance tested my camera/lens, but four lifers from Texas USA: White-tailed kite, gray hawk, zone-tailed hawk, and Harris's hawk. #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Photography #BirdsOfPrey #WildlifePhotography #Lifer

The exchange of weeds is thought to play a role in reinforcing the bond between the pair while also forming part of the early stages of nest-building behaviour. By presenting vegetation, the birds rehearse the gathering of material that will soon be used to construct their floating nest among reeds or aquatic plants.The performance rarely lasts long. After the upright dance, the pair settle again onto the water, drifting apart before resuming their quiet patrol of the lake.

Last time I saw this bird it was awful weather and I didn’t manage any footage. Decided to go back today to rectify this. Great Grey Shrike - on its 8th week now. Fabulous bird. #lincsbirding #ukbirding #birds #shrike #birdsseenin2026

I have only seen one Masked Shrike before in Turkey. Seeing 10 plus in the park in Doha (Qatar) was amazing. Such smart looking shrikes. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #canonphotography

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Livestock grazing is essential to maintaining grasslands in the mountains of Europe. Extensive cattle grazing has been shown to be the most beneficial but any extensive system is good

Grassland butterflies are declining across Europe, but how do we reverse that trend? We have just produced a report with some simple guidance to land managers and policy makers on how to 'Bend the curve' and help increase butterflies and other pollinators. www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

Around Tamanrasset in southern #Algeria there’s a bunch of species more than likely escaped from captivity but now thriving in the wild. One of them is the superb Senegal Parrot…
