#Birds #PurpleFinch #BirdOfTheDay #Songbirds

A very handsome male Purple Finch; a somewhat elusive songbird in my area.
Profile view of a finch in front of pine tree trunk. The bird has a triangular beak, dark eye, deep cherry red back and cheek, brighter red on the top of the head and above the tail. Red streaks on the breast feathers and dark flight feathers edged with light buff colour.

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

With one colony left in Yorkshire, the Dark Bordered Beauty is on the brink of extinction in England 🚨

After a wildfire in May 2025 destroyed part of the moth’s breeding site, it has never been more critical to expand its range to other areas.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

Labour have bottled it, they’ve cancelled the elections. Undemocratic and incompetent - aka Labour’s new normal.

Greens are on the rise. Join us, help us take the first Mayor of Sussex and Brighton! Let’s build our future of hope together.

A #songbird singing for #BirdOfTheDay: Male lazuli bunting in Oregon.

📷🌿🪶
A photo of a male lazuli bunting (Passerina amoena), a small finch-like songbird with a vivid blue head, back, and wings and a burnt orange chest, perched on a thin vertical dried stalk set amongst purple blooming lupine flowers. Its beak is open mid-song.

The #BirdofTheDay theme is #Songbirds so I chose this Eastern #Meadowlark singing away while perched on a mullein stalk in eastern #Minnesota. #birds #naturephotography
This Eastern Meadowlark has a wide open beak as it sings. Its striking yellow breast with black patch is towards the camera. The head is turned sideways showing off the prominent beak. The birds feet are grasping a dried mullein stalk. The background is a diffuse green of out of focus grassland and distant woods.

I have a beautiful European Goldfinch; such a striking bird especially in the grey winter.

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Songbirds and the alternative is #Seabirds Sorry having to post and go today as I’m out having a meal. Will be back to have a peek tomorrow morning or later this evening European time. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A close-up side profile of a Dunnock perched on a moss-covered surface, its round body fluffed against a soft, pale green background. The bird’s finely patterned brown and grey feathers show intricate texture, with warm chestnut tones along the wings. Its dark eye catches the light, and its slender bill points slightly forward. The smooth bokeh backdrop highlights the delicate detail of the bird’s plumage and the tiny moss stalks beneath its feet.
