A small bird with a soft gray chest, brown and black striped wings, and a rusty crown (a chipping sparrow), grasps a nearly bare Japanese maple tree branch on a windy winter afternoon. A few crunchy brown leaves remain on the branches around the bird. The mottled gray sky in the background provides excellent contrast for the warm colors of the bird.

Bearded reedling (Panurus biarmicus) aka bearded tit.

Today's #birdoftheday set by @alan678.bsky.social is #PerfectPerch.

Not a branch, exactly, but the perfect perch for where they live in the reedbeds.

Fits #smallbirdsaturday tho.

Despite 8yrs in the UK, I believe this is the #one and only European robin I've seen. I didn't even realise it was a robin at the time as until recently I thought Brits just really liked drawing strange chubby robins at Christmas 😬
