Cynomya mortuorum

This Yellow-faced Blowfly paused for about 30 seconds before zooming off to do whatever it is they they do (probably best not knowing..)

I had a bit of a play around with video today- as I couldn’t get the photos I wanted due to the fog. Here’s an Egyptian goose having a slow mo preen and flap #birds #ukwildlife

It was a bit of a white out this morning, when visiting the stags. I took this just before I left- at 11am, when this rather tired Stag decided to take a rest after defending his females from 5 or 6 separate males. #ukwildlife #deerrut #redstag

A Blue Tit has hopped into your Bluesky feed to check that you are having a wonderful weekend! With #blue on both head and wings, he qualifies for the alt theme of #BirdOfTheDay today (as does the Kingfisher and the Barn Swallow, posted earlier in this #birds thread). #UKWildlife #Photography #ECK 🌿

Photo of a Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), seen from below, standing on some dead wood. The bird's head and body are facing towards us and slightly to our right, and he seems to be looking straight at us. His head is white with a blue crown, a black stripe running from the beak to, and beyond, the eye, and black running down from below the beak across the throat to the neck, where it then runs along each side of the neck to enclose a large white cheek. The chest and belly are yellow, with a short, thick, black stripe down the middle of the belly. What little we can see of the back, wings and tail have blue and green plumage. The beak, and the legs and feet, are dark grey. The background is mostly green.

Giant Polypore (Meripilus giganteus) at Carr's Wood. Comes up in the same spot every year, under a Beech tree.

#WingsOpenNotFlying is the main #BirdOfTheDay theme today, and it’s #SuperSeabirdSunday, so here is an almost-fledgling Gannet, white downy fluff almost all gone, trying out his or her wings at Bempton Cliffs last last month. Post #11 in this #Gannets thread. #Birds #Photography #UKWildlife #ECK 🌿

A photo of an almost-fledgling Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus) sat on a cliffside nest with wings held wide open. The bird is facing towards the rocky cliff and so has their back, and their left side, towards us. The left wing partly obscures the adult Gannet, snoozing on the edge of the nest platform. Gannets are large seabirds, the adults are mostly white in colour but have black wingtips, and yellowish-brown colouration on the tops of their heads which extends down the upper parts of the backs and sides of their necks. The chicks start off with a covering of white, fluffy down, but the one in this photo has little of that left - the head is well covered, as are the lower flanks, by the base of the tail, and there are few small patches on the wings. Elsewhere, the bird is covered with dark blackish-grey feathers, each with a small whitish spot or streak at its tip. The long, pointed beak, the eyes, the short legs and webbed feet, are all blackish in colour.

A quiet place for Teal. They're starting to gather for the winter on the new pools at St Fittick's, which are quite open to give clear views. The males haven't moved to their bright plumage yet but the flash of emerald speculum still breaks the grey-brown.

Three Teal are standing at the edge of a reed fringed pool, one stretching its wing out. They are reflected in the water.
