And here’s a very lousy picture of the bluethroat I heard singing this morning. But … at least one of them is back! πŸͺΆ

A sharply focused Eurasian magpie stands alert on a weathered tree stump, its glossy black head and back contrasting with a bright white shoulder and belly. The bird’s pale grey bill and dark, watchful eye are turned slightly to the side, giving it an inquisitive expression. Soft green foliage blurs into the background, isolating the magpie’s striking black-and-white plumage while a few blades of grass sprout from the textured stump beneath its feet.

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Corvidae any bird of the Corvid family. The alt is #LongNecks any bird with a long neck. Good luck. #birds #photography #ECK

A sunset over water we're doing in front on the right bottom side rocks on the left hand side horizon hued, orange and yellow must be clouds above the Sun casting a slight reflection in the water

Good morning. Happy Monday.
A new week starts, a new chance to cast our light and make our horizons, vast.
Have a beautiful week.

Of course for my first sighting of our national bird, the black-tailed godwit, it decided that the no-go-area-for humans was the best place to be. And I can’t blame them. πŸͺΆ Grutto
