Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestBeaks - thanks for the choice Helen!
Well, the Spoonbill has to be up there with those of bold profiles and interesting shapes! Photo taken at WWT Slimbridge, December 2024.
A large chunk of the world's population of Sea Aster Bee, Colletes halophilus, is found on the east and south-east coast of England. It's on the upper saltmarsh of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve now. An autumn ace!

Wasps still active in this exposed nest along the Lagan Towpath, Belfast, this morning #ukwildlife
The Puffin heading this #birds thread definitely has one of the #BestBeaks (main #BirdOfTheDay theme today), but I'm ending the thread with a brilliantly beaked bird who also qualifies for the alt theme #YellowElements: a Great Cormorant. Photographed at Brandon Marsh on Saturday. #UKWildlife #ECK 🌿
A various set of Damselflies, Dragonflies, Flies, Moths & Bees for today's #FlyDay theme.
#LifeInTheUndergrowth is a fascinating world to look into.

The first of my very limited contributions to #Arachtober, and I am easing you in gently with this Flower Crab Spider, perched near the top of an Orchid flower spike. Photographed at @wtsww.bsky.social Dowrog Common Nature Reserve in Pembrokeshire back in June. #Spiders #Invertebrates #UKWildlife 🌿
First evening in Anstruther, Fife & a nice bonus Purple Sandpiper! @fifebirdnews.bsky.social

#YellowElemants is the alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay I think this Blue Tit wears it very well

Posting pictures of birds I have taken to stop my feed here just being depressing politics #birds #birdsofbluesky #ukwildlife #ukbirds Robin, Lancashire, September 2026

Today’s theme by Helen for #BirdOfTheDay is #BestBeaks. So here is what I consider one of the most striking and colourful beaks in the bird world that I’ve captured, the Toucan #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon #photography
