Late entry for today's #BirdOfTheDay, the theme is #Black&Red.

The Great Spotted Woodpecker occasionally visits my Bristol garden. Unusually, I had my camera to hand this time, and the light was nice! (02.10.26)

Two Terns twisting and turning (or should that be ‘terning’?) over the sea at Cemlyn Bay, Anglesey, back at the beginning of July, and qualifying for today’s #BirdOfTheDay themes #Black&Red and #LongBeak. Post #4 in this #birds thread. #BirdPhotography #ECK #UKWildlife #SuperSeabirdSunday 🌿

Photo of two Terns - Common Sterna hirundo or Arctic (Sterna paradisaea) - in flight above the sea. The one on the left side of the image has his or her upper side towards us, wings outstretched and tail fanned out, with head turned to look down towards the bottom right corner of the picture. In that corner is the second Tern, flying towards us and to our left, head turned to look across towards the left side of the image, with the upper sides of the wings facing us (one stretched right out and the other folded back a little), and tail angled downward and so almost entirely hidden from our view (but it appears that it is fanned out). Terns are like smaller, slimmer and more elegant versions of Gulls. These two are mostly white in colour, with grey on the upper sides of the wings, black tops to their heads. Their long, slim beaks are red; possibly with a black tip in the case of one of them, which would make the bird a Common Tern.

Does somebody need a hug? Actually, if you’re an insect, it’s best to avoid a hug from a Flower Crab Spider! The same #spider who appears in the post above – this time with alt text, which I somehow missed last time. #Arachtober #Invertebrates #UKWildlife 🌿

Photo of a Flower Crab Spider (Misumena vatia) lying in wait for prey near the top of an Orchid flower spike. We are looking at the flower spike from above, with the spider perched on the side of the spike and facing up towards us. The cephalothorax (the combined head and thorax), which is much smaller than the large ovoid abdomen behind it, is - along with the palps and legs which extend from it - a slightly yellowish white in colour, the yellow tint being stronger around the eyes and towards the tips of the palps and legs. The first two pairs are held open (the right legs pointing down towards the bottom of the picture and the left legs towards the top left), ready to spring forward and grab any insect landing on the flower spike in front of the spider. The third and fourth pairs of legs are holding on the flowers. The abdomen is white, with a hint of pale green on the upper surface. The Orchid flowers are a pale pink or purple in colour, with darker pink/purple spots and streaks.

Yesterday, I went for a short potter in Carr's Wood. Found hundreds of these tiny Dacne rufifrons, one of the so-called 'pleasing fungus beetles' (Erotylidae) on the underside of an old Dryad's Saddle fungus.

“You guy’s got a thing about beaks?!” asked the #heron of the #BirdOfTheDay team after they went with a beak related theme again: Alt #LongBeak 😉

For #BirdOfTheDay #BestBeaks, it has to a razorbill on the Farne Islands. Oh, did you think I was going to say Puffin? #UKwildlife

Rocks, whitened with guano. In the foreground is a sitting razorbill, looking sideways so its beak is almost invisible. In the background are 3 puffins partially obscured by rocks.
