Per Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is
#WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying.
The Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage.
#anhinga #birds #waterbird #nature #wildlife #thelittlethings #ECK #Stunday #photography #BlueSkyMonday 🕊️

An anhinga is standing on a concrete slab with its wings spread out to dry. Its head is turned to the side and you can see its blue-green eye and pointed brown beak. Its neck is brown and the body is black with white feathers on its wings that look like silver. A turtle is sunning next to it. There’s a gray tree branch protruding from the blue-green lake water.
Interesting information:
The anhinga is a large, slender water bird known as the "snakebird" or "water turkey"that inhabits the warmer swamps, rivers, and ponds of the Americas.
Adult males are glossy black with silvery-white streaks on the wings and back; females and immatures feature a pale tan or light brown head, neck, and breast.
They possess a sharp, dagger-like bill, a long S-shaped neck, and a wide, fan-like tail.
Unlike most water birds, anhingas have wettable plumage and dense bones, which help them sink and maneuver underwater.

@robcrank68.bsky.social set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme; #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying.

Found this Eurasian Spoonbill at Kilvington Lakes this morning. 3rd for the site. See alt text for others.

Eurasian Spoonbill, Platalea leucorodia, caught while flapping its wings, stood next to water by a bank of daisies. The black tips to the wings indicate this is an immature bird. Adults have all white wings.

Seen at Kilvington Lakes, Nottinghamshire on 4 October. Apparently only 3rd record for the site.

Northern Lapwing, Vanellus vanellus, captured while spreading its wings high. Stood in muddy water. Seen at RSPB Adwick Washland, Dearne Valley, Nature Reserve, 21 September.
