I guess it’s good that the Sparrow spotted me yesterday or I would have had to look for a spotted Gull or something 😉.
Now hopefully I can get back to sleep for a few more hours.
Have a good morning!

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #spotted now that can mean when you have been spotted by your subject or a bird that has spots or blotches on it’s plumage. I was #spotted by a European Robin yesterday. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A European robin stands alert on a patch of mossy ground, facing directly toward the camera. Its vivid orange-red breast and face glow warmly in the sunlight, contrasting with its soft grey and brown plumage. Bright green blades of grass frame the foreground, while the background fades into a dark, softly blurred woodland scene.

I guess someone bundled them together and threw them in the River? 😳
People do bizarre things, huh?!
Yeah, probably some interesting stories would come about.
