Okay, I'm a little confused (my usual state of being) as I was sure I was videoing a solitary Jackdaw on my walk home from my mate's this afternoon 😵‍💫 Looking at this though, I'm thinking that there must have been a pair! 😅 #westernjackdaw #jackdaw #jackdaws #birdsoftheworld #birds | #kent #england

Bird of the Day: Eurasian Magpie (Pica pica) #birdoftheday #botd | #eurasianmagpie #magpie #picapica | #birdsoftheworld #birds |
#birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer
🔗 birdbrainer.app

A close-up portrait of a medium-sized bird standing upright on rough ground against a soft, blurred background. The bird has distinct jet-black plumage on its head, chest, and long tail, contrasting with its bright white belly and shoulders.

Text on card: Found across Europe, Asia, and northwestern Africa, inhabiting farmland, woodland edges, hedgerows, parks, gardens, and suburban areas. One of the most recognisable birds in the world, with boldly patterned black-and-white plumage and a long, iridescent green-and-purple tail; it is regarded as one of the most intelligent of all birds.

This small flock of street pigeons seemed to be enjoying the puddle left from last night's modest amount of rain (and didn't seem to mind the noise of the market traders shutting up shop for the day!) 🙂 Unfortunately, a chap walking by with his dog put an end to their fun 😔 #birdsoftheworld #birds

Eurasian jay. #birdsoftheworld

Was able to come close to this lovely bird with its discreet but striking plumage as it hunted for snacks in the dry grass around it.

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

A photo of a medium-sized, stocky bird (29–32 cm / 11.5–12.5 in long) perched on a thin, leafless wooden branch. It features a soft pastel blue-turquoise head, neck, and underparts, a warm chestnut-brown back, and a striking bright turquoise tail tip. It has a stout black beak, dark eyes with a slight black stripe extending through them, and is set against a soft, out-of-focus background of blue sky and subtle green foliage.

Clue: This brightly coloured visitor to Europe and Western/Central Asia gets its common name from the striking aerial acrobatics, flips, and rolls it performs during courtship flights!

Fun Fact: Nestlings of this species have a unique self-defense mechanism: when threatened by predators, they vomit a foul-smelling orange liquid all over themselves! This deters hungry attackers and alerts returning parents to potential danger around the nest.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

A photo of a vibrant green bird with a bright red beak and a faint pink ring around its neck, perching gracefully on a thick tree branch surrounded by lush green foliage.
