Hope's Nose, S Devon this AM. I did not expect to find my first site Cetti's Warbler at the bottom of the first slope! Perhaps the first record here for several decades? 🤔 Mobile and vocal - it showed briefly on half a dozen occasions. #UKBirding #DevonBirds @backwardbirder.bsky.social #birds

Accorded celebrity status during it's 6-day stay, the Pendeen Lapland Bunting must have been the most visited individual of it's ilk anywhere in the British Isles during early October. An extremely confiding individual, It put on quite a show for ardent Longspur devotees #ukbirding #birdingCornwall

Brief appearance by a Kingfisher at Severn Valley Country Park this morning, but lots of time spent with several Robins that came into the hide to sing to us #UKBirding

Good Afternoon Bluesky Folks!

Here’s a Buzzard Souring in the Sky that I managed to capture the other day while walking around a lake it was Captured on my Canon EOS R50!

#CanonR50

This photo shows a bird of prey, likely a common buzzard, soaring through a clear, solid blue sky:  
 The Bird: It is captured from below with its broad wings fully outstretched and its tail fan-spread as it glides.  
 Plumage & Markings: The underside features a pattern of mottled brown and off-white feathers, with prominent dark wingtips (primaries) and dark trailing edges along the wings. A lighter band is visible across its chest, and finely barred patterns run along the tail and underwing coverts.  
 Background: The background is completely cloudless, bright blue, providing a sharp contrast that highlights the silhouette and feather details of the bird.

One more photo of the unexpected Tawny Owl visit to my garden on Thursday night. Photo taken through my kitchen window on a 1/3 second exposure, so please forgive the blurriness #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Despite 50mph gusts, today’s NW gale delivered few seabirds at Ardnamurchan Point this AM, perhaps only 10% of the numbers seen in the strong SW winds earlier in the week. Reduced numbers of Gannets, Kittiwakes & auks passed south. No skuas, petrels or shearwaters.

First birds of my day: a charm of ten Goldfinch swirling around above my head, while no fewer than fifteen Starling whistle-squeaked from the tower of St Barney's Church.

It's @helenbennett.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay today and her theme is #Green, any birds or backgrounds that have Green in them.
The Alt theme is #Geese, and Goose/Geese will do.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Green, any birds or backgrounds that have Green in them set by @helenbennett.bsky.social - early arrivals for the season but managed to capture Short -Eared Owls this week at Aust Warth salt marshes 🦉😍😍🪶🦉 #ukbirding #ECK

The short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) is a medium-sized, ground-dwelling bird of prey about the size of a crow, measuring roughly 34 to 42 cm (13 to 17 inches) long with a wide wingspan of about a meter (90 to 105 cm).

Key Physical Features

• Eyes and Face: They have striking, bright yellow eyes wrapped in dark, dramatic black rings that look like heavy eyeliner or dark goggles. Their face is rounded and pale.

• Head and "Ears": They have a rounded, fluffy head with tiny, nearly invisible feather tufts on top (their namesake "short ears") that usually lie flat and cannot actually be seen easily.

• Body and Plumage: Their top feathers are a mottled mix of warm brown, buff, and yellowish-tan, which helps them blend right into dry grass and moorland. Their underparts are paler with fine brown streaks.

• Wings in Flight: Their wings are long and broad. When they fly low over open fields, their erratic, buoyant movement looks a bit like a giant, graceful moth or butterfly.

Behavior and Lifestyle

• Daytime Hunters: Unlike many owls that hide at night, short-eared owls often hunt during the daytime, dawn, and dusk.

• Where They Live: They prefer wide-open, treeless spaces like moorlands, rough coastal grasslands, marshes, and sand dunes.

• On the Ground: Instead of living in trees or high branches, they build their nests and rest directly on the ground hidden in tall grass.

• Sound and Movement: They glide silently just a few feet above the ground listening for small field voles and mice, occasionally making soft hoots or rapid wing-clapping sounds during courtship.
