I think this might be my first time casually posting a photo of a Eurasian Bullfinch?
It was quite dark, so the image turned out a bit noisy—but the bird itself was beautifully colored. 😊🪶

A Eurasian Bullfinch perched on a branch surrounded by autumn foliage. Its pinkish-red breast and black cap stand out against the muted yellows and browns of the background. The image is slightly noisy due to low light, but the bird’s plumage remains vivid and striking.
秋の葉に囲まれた枝にとまるウソ。淡い黄色や茶色の背景の中で、ピンクがかった赤い胸と黒い頭が際立っている。光が足りず少しノイズがあるが、鳥の羽色は鮮やかで美しい。

A supermoon approaches, the moon is nearly full tonight. Remember, Remember the 5th of November, the Beaver moon takes flight. Floating high above the clouds, blushed by sunsets gentle kiss. The trees stand in silouette, our cosmic dance, they witness.

Bird on the rocks.
The Cormorant has less water-proofing on its wings, allowing their feathers to get soaked & reduce buoyancy, giving them more agility underwater as they dive for fish.
Drying their feathers is essential to regain the necessary lift & insulation for flight.

For Alan’s #birdoftheday here are two Oystercatchers looking rather guilty on a rock #birds #ukwildlife

Two oystercatchers stood on a rock. The left hand bird faces forward looking slightly to the right. The right hand bird has its body facing away but its head turned to the right. The rock is covered in guano.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #rock meaning any bird perched on a rock. The alternative is #longbeak any bird with a long beak. I’ve went with both themes and the stunning Oystercatcher, my favourite shore bird. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A striking Eurasian oystercatcher stands on a lichen-covered rock by the sea. The bird has a glossy black head and back, a white underside, long pink legs, and a vivid orange-red bill. Its bright red eye stands out sharply against the dark plumage, while the blurred blue water behind provides a soft coastal backdrop.

Due to an oversight with the use of the Festive Hashtag for the Robin theme, we have decided the right thing to do is to change it to #HolidayRobin instead.

I should have done checks to see if the Festive one was in use, so the mistake was mine.
