30 day free trial for Amazon prime. Seemed like a good idea, to catch up on The Night Manager and a few others. Logging into the app proves an unexpected challenge right now though *sigh*

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks, the Alt theme is #Grey, birds with Grey feathers on them.
Here's a Blue Tit, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Nuthatch (covers both themes)

First (solo) round of Dinosaur Island Raw‘n‘Write. Quite a few pages of instructions to get through for a short-ish game, but once you get the hang of the symbols and in which order to take certain actions, it’s not that complicated. Love the theme, didn’t kill any visitors 🦖- one to play again
The setup of Dinosaur Island, a roll and write game, after the game had verb finished. Several game cards and a filled out score card can be seen

Still mostly stuck to my couch. If this cold doesn’t take a real turn for the better until tomorrow morning, I might just have to get my first doctor‘s note in almost 3 years.

🪶 Today's #BirdOfTheDay, per Alan @alan678.bsky.social, is #Portrait. This white-throated sparrow wanted a profile shot.

A white-throated sparrow is on a bare small branch. It has its back to the camera with its head turned to the left, giving a profile view.

I consider myself primarily a dragonfly lover, so it is with great pain that I post this shocking image of an evil Pied Wagtail for the #bugsinbeak theme by the very cruel @alan678.bsky.social for today's #BirdoftheDay.

The cold from 2 weeks ago is making a comeback today, bringing with it the cough that so far had been missing. Not that I missed it. Anyway, another sick day, hoping it's just a short burst and tomorrow will be better again.

The Bluebird on the frozen river.

An Eastern Bluebird stands on the bare river ice after getting a drink. He’s illuminated by the wan early morning January sun, but it doesn’t provide much warmth. He looks a somewhat forlorn to me.

#WaterBirds for #BirdOfTheDay. Is there any waterbird more common than the mallard? I love seeing them at basically every pond and lake everywhere. Here’s a group that worked a neat path into a frozen stream.
A small frozen river, in which a meandering path is kept ice-free by mallards. In the picture, about 15 mallards in a row are swimming along it

Really needed to dig deep into my picture folders for #BirdOfTheDay, as I've got a surprisingly low number of #oddcouples - pictures with birds of different species in them. This cuckoo branchling and two different adoptive parents feeding it (meadow pipit and wagtail) came to the rescue.
A young cuckoo sitting on the ground, halfway hidden behind some grass in the foreground. it ha got its beak wide open, begging for food. To it's left, a wagtail is bringing food, while to the right, a meadow pipit with a moth in its beak is just taking off.

Finished my #crochet project, hooray. Meet owl Atahualpa (nope, no idea why the maker of the instruction named it that 😆)
