For the theme of #Elegant in today’s #BirdOfTheDay I think it’s got to be the stunning Kingfisher, the colours and stance make this bird prefect eye candy #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon #photography

#Elegant and #Scruffy to cover today's #BirdOfTheDay main and alt themes (both photos taken this morning and as luck would have it, fit the themes).

I'm doubling up on today's #BirdoftheDay by @atlanticbirding.bsky.social

I've got an #elegant Goliath heron (left) suddenly turned into a #scruffy monster (right). I almost dropped my camera.

They call it "puffing up" to deter or impress. I call it #MAXIFLOOF

Taken on a trip to Ward Island off #Toronto, this grey catbird posed elegantly on top of a bush. They are named for their call! The island is a magnet for birds in Autumn, many are exotic and colourful for a visiting uk birder.

Good morning from rainy Lancashire (of course it’s raining - I’m litter-picking this morning 🤷🏼‍♀️)
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Elegant & the Alt. is #Scruffy…
As a general rule egrets are elegant & vultures are scruffy (I too fall into the latter category)
Have a great weekend. H xx
