Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #FavouriteOfTheMonth and this is one from a snowy New Years Day. You go to all that trouble of getting neatly groomed to welcome in 2026 and the wind decides otherwise!

Never play Hide and Seek with a Long Tail Tit. It's just not worth the effort.
They'd be terrible spies.

A #RedKite for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Feathers&Form. Taken last April over the house. I obviously didn't get the picture, in one of them, that I wanted 😂.....but there was something I liked about it.

Asked a Robin "What is 2026 going to be like?".
"Who knows?" said the Robin with a shrug "but I hope it's a good one".
I can only repeat those sentiments and wish you all wherever you are a Happy New Year.
