A classic view of Knot is of huge flocks swirling over mudflats but at Girdle Ness we enjoy them in smaller numbers, often perching on shoreline rock outcrops that set off the juveniles' scalloped, peach-tinted charm.

A fabulous female Kingfisher, with a soft/blurry background, photographed today from the Carlton Hide at @warwickshirewt.bsky.social Brandon Marsh, for the main #BirdOfTheDay theme #BokehBirds. #Birds #BirdPhotography #UKWildlife #ECK 🌿

Photo of a female Eurasian Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) perched near the top of a small, dead branch placed on the edge of a pool of water for use by this species. Her body is facing away from us and slightly towards our left so we see her back and her left flank, but her head is turned to the right. Her back, partly covered by her wings, reflects a bright turquoise-blue colour, while the top half of her head, a broad band running back and down from the base of her beak, and her tail, are a greenish-blue, with paler blue speckles on the top of the head and along the outer edges of the wings. Her underparts are an orangey-red, and a patch of this colour also appears on the side of her head, followed by a longer patch of white, in the gap between the parts of the head coloured greenish-blue. The beak is mostly black apart from an orange area towards the base of the lower part. Her tiny feet (we can just see part of her left foot, in shadow) are red.

Have been trying to get a shot of this pale Buzzard for a week, finally succeeded. At one point today there were six circling together on a thermal.

Buzzard gliding against a blue/grey sky, sunlight coming from upper right of frame highlights the eye and bill. The underside of the bird is very pale with a few flecks of brown.

Female kingfisher from today
#photography #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birding #birds

A vibrant common kingfisher is perched upright near the rounded end of a weathered wooden branch, facing slightly right against a soft, out-of-focus blue background.The bird features a bright orange chest and belly, a speckled teal and blue cap on its head, and a long, sharp beak. The smooth background creates a clean contrast that emphasizes the bird's detailed plumage and colors

Warbler on a wire, think a Willow warbler but the legs are in shadow. North Pennines.

A predominantly yellow Warbler against a pale blue sky is about to launch from an overhead cable. The bird is twisting away from camera with one wing stretched above its body.

It's the time of year when Yellow-browed Warblers find their way to lonely coastal sycamores. This was one of two along the north side of Girdle Ness today.

A Yellow-browed Warbler is perched on a horizontal twig, with its back to us and looking upwards. Some browning sycamore leaves are in the background.

Be rude not to take a photo of a seasonal star, the Ivy #bee. This time of year it's clear to see why Ivy's so important, it's buzzing with bees, flies, and wasps. #MacroMonday #wildlifefrommywindow #invertebrates #UKWildlife

A squre photo that is a close up of an Ivy Bee on a cluster of Ivy flowers. Each ivy flower is like an icecream cone of green on the end of a pale green stalk, radiating from the ivy stem. Eacy flower is about the size of the little bees head. The bee is drinking from one flower with it's antennae pointed downwards. It has large black eyes, with an fuzzy orange face, and very pale hairs being its eye. The thorax is covered in short orange hairs, and the abdomen is striped with black and pale yellow.

The Hedge 20
28/9
I'll keep looking at The Hedge, but reduce the no. of posts. 52 species so far - list attached. Lacked nos of Spotted Flycatchers of previous years and no Redstart, but fledged Hobbies and Wryneck more than make up for that.
