Life needs to be liberally sprinkled with moments of joy and happiness. There is too much gloom to wade through at times. 😭

Today’s theme is borbs - round birds. Here’s a borb who’s about to get borber 🤣

Goldcrest and his bounty of sloe berries

A photograph of a goldcrest. The goldcrest is at the bottom of the photo, looking a bit round and looking up. He is surrounded by branches laden with big blue sloe berries. He is in heaven!

For @robcrank68.bsky.social 's #BirdoftheDay, #Borbs, birds looking around, I'll share my favourite little wader, a Least Sandpiper, sheltering on the rocks at hide tide and looking around. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Photography
A Least Sandpiper, shot from the back, with its head turned to the right so its right eye is visible. The smallest wader with beautiful shading across the feathers.

Rook life. 😁🪶

#Birdfeed #UKnature #UKwildlife #UKbirds #Shropshire #UKbirding #Shropshirebirding #wildlivesmatter #AttinghamParkNT
Large Rook, black coloured feathers. A big beak built for digging. One of my favourite birds. Rook sitting on a fence post, the fence surrounds cattle. Plenty of food for this one and his feathered family.

Winter coat goals.

We are definitely a little jealous of how snug this Highland cow is looking.

The December Robin. 🪶

UK Robin perching on a old fruit tree branch. Brown and fawn coloured feathers. Bright red face and breast. You can get quite close to Robins at this time of year.

The upper reaches of the #rockies have been snowed in for a few weeks, but that is all fine for White-tailed Ptarmigan. They float above the white stuff to get around and when they are cold and sleepy, they dig into the snowy blanket and settle in. #birds #AB

A rewarding couple of hours today at Filey Brigg in spite of the strong NW wind & the odd icy shower.

Hats off to @shiphaybirder.bsky.social who heard it, spotted it and followed it up through the Sallow to make life easier for the rest of us!

This image captures a Eurasian Nuthatch identifiable by its striking grey-blue back and cap, and rich reddish-orange underparts. The small bird is perched on a weathered, rough-surfaced tree stump, actively foraging among scattered seeds and nuts, with its long, pointed beak aimed downwards towards the food.
