Thanks Alan. It only just occurred to me for the theme.

Thanks. It didn't occur to me for the #BirdOfTheDay theme until I had posted my photo of the American White Pelican with something large in its bill pouch.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #beakful, so here's two Great Crested Grebes performing the weed waving part of their long and complex courtship display.

It's slightly annoying that this breeding adult has the largest bill plate I recall seeing, and it barely gets noticed because of the full bill.

Mist at sunrise provides the #glow for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme. With a small boat fishing on Colpoy's Bay, Ontario.

Thanks, Rob. It was the most "full" image that came to mind.

Thanks, Alan. I briefly considered a set of four European birds and a set of four North American species but decided to go with a single, very full image.

Thanks, my photo was taken at Quill Lakes, Saskatchewan, in the 1990s. Since then, water levels have changed dramatically, and the roads and tracks I used are now under water.

Thanks, the Merganser seems to be the most popular by some margin.

A lot of people like it. I prefer this one from a different location a few years earlier.

Thank you. The juvenile Woodpecker was published in a magazine, and the juvenile Eurasian Blue Tit pecking open a poppy seed head was shortlisted in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
