I like to share some of my bird pictures with the world, enjoy the beauty of nature! All pictures I post are taken by and owned by myself (except for any reposts).
Today's theme for #birdoftheday is #eyecontact, as per @alan678.bsky.social I just had to dig this Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) pic out of my archives! Got really lucky with how the eye came out through the branches. Enjoy!

Last year I did some volunteering for the @rspb.bsky.social on #RathlinIsland, Northern Ireland. As it was spring time, there was lots of bird activity. Thought this European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) was a nice pick for #birdoftheday. Enjoy!

The theme for #birdoftheday as set by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #paddling. This Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio) is a rare visitor in the Netherlands. This one's been around for a few months now. Taken at #eendrachtspolder, the Netherlands.

I've always liked flying #swans, and especially this one silhouetted against the low winter sun. Korendijkse Slikken, the Netherlands.

Redwing almost finished, just the leggy wegs to go. Not my favourite painting, but enjoying the learning process and trying to not be overly self critical 🫠

Can't do a #tailsup post without a Wren! This fledgling suddenly popped up out of a ditch. Apparently they have that angry look straight from the nest, though it seemed happy to pose for some pictures! Taken at #RathlinIsland, Norhern Ireland.

With the #birdoftheday theme #singing, I had to think of this Redpoll (Acanthis flammea). He really seems to be putting in an effort! Taken in Iceland, near Myvatn. Enjoy!

Uniek moment vastgelegd! 🐺❄️Deze 11-koppige wolvenroedel liet zich vorige week zien voor de wildcamera. Normaal houden dieren zich bij dit weer schuil om energie te sparen, maar deze wolven wisten zich goed door de sneeuw te manoeuvreren. 🤩 📸 Boswachter Frank Theunissen
