I'm looking forward to not having any football this week. This week I'm in Portland & it is nice not having to think about time changes & what time I would have to watch an Arsenal game. Oh crap, forgot to check if the women are playing.n

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HeronsandEgrets with the alternative being #birdsandrocks any bird with a rock in the frame. Extra points for a double theme combo. 😁 Good luck. #birds #photography #Stunday #EastCoastKin

A couple of finches for Ron's challenge today. On the left we have a Desert Finch & on the right we have a Crimson Winged finch. Both birds were photographed in Morocco in February this year. #BirdOfTheDay #finches #morocco #birds #photography

Just landed in KL, flight was delayed for crap weather. The WiFi is really crap & I can't seem to get a decent picture to watch the ladies. Hope we score a few more goals to get some confidence back for the team.

So it's 0130 here in Saigon, flying home to London tomorrow via KL, do i give up trying to sleep & go back to UK time? Also what sucks. I finally won a ballot & I'm going to be stuck in the air during the game. Hope the WiFi works tomorrow. Wonder what the line up will be?

The nice thing about this little group is informing me to take photos in a very different way. Unfortunately I don't seem to have many photos of birds making a splash. I think I'm pushing it with the goosander barely making a ripple. The White tufted grebe is barely making a splash. #BirdOfTheDay

A slight cheat as they are in the same sort of family group.
A Grey-Headed Swamphen in flight & a Bronze-Winged Jacana. These pics were taken as my last proper birding day in Vietnam. Been an amazing 3 weeks of birding in Thailand & Vietnam. Back home on Sunday.

Would you consider these decent photos?
One of these is my new best photo of a kingfisher I've ever taken. (Taken at Indigenous People's Park in Taipei.) Can't decide which one it is though. What do you guys reckon? 😊

Ok Arsenal, I'm a bit sick today. Been sick for 3 days but still been walking the jungles in Vietnam looking for birds, even today the heavens opened up & soaked in places I didn't know existed. So I'm not going to be able to wake up 3am to watch you. So please win for when I wake up. #coyg

@alan678.bsky.social ouch man. They really are giving you a kicking. A stork Billed Kingfisher & a Belted kingfisher. If it's any consolation, I've not been able to get a decent photo of a common kingfisher. #BirdOfTheDay #kingfisher #kingfisherday #birds #bird

Hope that helps.

For over 2 weeks I've been able to get away with no leeches in Thailand & Vietnam. Well not today. Hate the blood sucking bastards.
