Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Portrait. Given that it's Valentine's Day, can I stretch it to this one? A pair of Mute swans displaying to each other.

It's time for @javajanegallery.co.uk theme of #SmallBirdSaturday, a chance for all the small birds to shine.
Here's a Robin, Blue Tit, Chaffinch & Kingfisher to show off their colours.

Diving for food is today’s theme, so I’ve got a graceful mallard diving, butt up, a juvie tufted duck going all in, and a seriously happy little little grebe who managed to snag a stickleback all by himself

I'm off on a busy WE (stage photos for friends tmrw 😁) but I can't let @robcrank68.bsky.social's #DivingForFood theme slip.
Last year I experimented with high-angle through-the-surface shots of a mute #swan and this is one of the best results.

Is it a wee diving torpedo, or a fuzzy floating potato? It's both.

(Pied-billed grebe fresh from yesterday. They have their breeding coloration, now. Very exciting.)

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DivingForFood, birds that dive under water for food. I couldn’t resist turning to this video of an ‘alae ke’oke’o (Hawaiian coot) diving and snacking. With thanks to @robcrank68.bsky.social

Here's my #DivingForFood #BirdOfTheDay (and the only member of the Pandionidae family), the #Osprey.

They're the only diurnal raptor with a reversible outer toe (two digits forward, two back: a zygodactyl-like grip for catching fish at speed). Knucklebumps to @monstera999.bsky.social for the info!

Some birds dive for fish, but this Red-crested Pochard came up from the bottom of the pond this morning with a beakful of green salad. For the #divingforfood theme of today's #BirdoftheDay by @robcrank68.bsky.social

An Atlantic Puffin returning to the colony, possibly from a fruitless fishing trip? #divingforfood is the theme of today, as per @robcrank68.bsky.social. Taken a few years ago in #Iceland. Enjoy!
