This was interesting! I got a hit on the Merlin app for the European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) when I was down at the allotments yesterday evening. Reading up on them, it's late for them to still be around, but it goes to show how mild it's been of late #birdsoftheworld | #kent #england

A screenshot of the results page of the Merlin app. Being mostly an armchair birder I can't say that I've ever identified a pied flycatcher, or the yellow-legged gull in the wild (these latter are apparently common here in the SE of England at this time of the year).

I really liked how the ripples caused by the gentle swimming of this coot made the autumn colours flash and dance 😍 #eurasiancoot #commoncoot #coot #coots #fulicaatra | #birdsoftheworld #birds | #kent #england

Bird of the Day: Black Kite (Milvus migrans) #birdoftheday #botd #blackkite #milvusmigrans #birdsoftheworld #birds #birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer
🔗 birdbrainer.app

A dark brown bird of prey soars through a clear blue sky with its wings fully spread, showcasing a pattern of dark feathers and lighter brown underparts. Text on card: One of the most numerous raptors in the world, found across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, inhabiting open woodland, towns, river banks, and refuse dumps. A medium-sized, agile kite with a distinctive forked tail, it is an opportunistic scavenger and predator, often seen riding thermals in large groups. 📷: Photo by DerWeg via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-flying-raptors-black-kite-7851456/

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉🐧🦆🦩🦅🪿🦚

A small, plump songbird (approx. 12–13.5 cm / 5–5.5 in long) perches on a thin branch against a blurred green foliage background. The bird features a crisp white belly, dark black upperparts, dark eyes, a small pointed black beak, and a distinct white patch above its forehead. Clue: I am a tiny migratory bird known for catching insects mid-air. True to my common name, I wear a bold pattern of black and white, and my male plumage sports a distinct white forehead patch. Fun Fact: Once a male establishes a nest site and attracts a female to lay eggs, he will often fly off to set up a second nest nearby to court a second female, leaving the first female to do much of the early incubation work alone.

Male (yellow eyes) and female (brown eyes) Brewer’s Blackbirds…they tend to linger in the Yakima Valley during winter but not necessarily together…

Bird of the Day: Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus) #birdoftheday #botd #whooperswan #cygnuscygnus #birdsoftheworld #birds #birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer
🔗 birdbrainer.app

A large all-white swan swimming on calm rippled blue water, facing left in profile, with an upright elongated neck, a distinctive yellow-and-black bill, and its pale form softly reflected in the water below. Text on card: One of the largest and heaviest flying birds in the world, the Whooper Swan breeds across the boreal zone from Iceland and northern Scotland east through Scandinavia and Russia to eastern Siberia, wintering on coastal estuaries, flooded grassland, and sheltered bays in Britain and Ireland, the Low Countries, Japan, and Korea. It is distinguished from the familiar Mute Swan by its long, straight neck held erect rather than curved, its flat-based yellow-and- black bill without a knob, and above all by its deeply resonant, bugling calls - the "whooping" that gives the species its name - delivered in flight and on the water. Pairs mate for life, and family groups remain together on their wintering grounds, the young birds gradually acquiring pure white plumage through th first winter. 📷: Photo by Estormiz via Wikimedia Commons (CCO 1.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cygnus_cygnus_Oulu_20240414_02.jpg

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉🐧🦆🦩🦅🪿🦚

A small, vibrant green songbird (11.5–13 cm / 4.5–5.1 in long) perched on a thin tree branch amid broad green leaves. It features a bright yellow crown, black markings around its eye and bill, black-streaked green wings, and subtle bluish-gray feet. Clue: This jewel-toned songbird from the humid cloud forests of Central and South America gets its common name from a brilliant, precious gemstone. Fun Fact: Despite its scientific name this bird isn't native to the U.S. state of Florida—florida comes from the Latin word for "flowery" or "blooming," referring to its bright, lush plumage!

Bird of the Day: Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) #birdoftheday #botd #greywagtail #motacillacinerea #birdsoftheworld #birds #birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer
🔗 birdbrainer.app

A slim, long-tailed songbird standing on wet muddy rocks at the water's edge, facing left, with a soft blue- grey head and back, a thin pale eyebrow stripe, a fine dark pointed bill, a whitish throat and breast blending into a lemon-yellow wash on the belly and undertail, dark grey-brown wings with pale feather edges, a very long dark tail with white outer feathers, and slender pale legs, against a blurred grey-blue water background. Text on card: Found across Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa, inhabiting fast-flowing streams, rivers, waterfalls, and millraces, and in winter commonly found at sewage works, reservoirs, and coastal marshes. Despite its name, the grey upperparts are less striking than the vivid yellow underparts and rump that flash in flight. 📷: Photo by Zeynel Cebeci via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Da%C4%9F_kuyruksallayan%C4%B1_-_Grey_Wagtail_-_Motacilla_cinerea_01.jpg
