For today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #Coots&Moorhens, a very obliging moorhen showcasing their stunning scarlet beak.

#birds #birdwatching #wildlifephotography #britishbirds

A moorhen stood on the side of a man made lake.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

The moorhen can be distinguished from the similar-looking coot by its olive-black back (separated from its blue-black body by a white line), the white patches under its tail, and its red bill, which has a yellow tip.

A familiar bird of our wetlands, the moorhen is often seen on park lakes, ponds and rivers. It spends more of its time out of the water than its relative, the coot, and even climbs trees. Moorhens are omnivores, eating everything from snails and insects to small fish and berries. When disturbed, it usually takes cover in nearby vegetation, but if it does take to the air, its flight is short and laboured. The moorhen offers a great opportunity to watch breeding bird behaviour: in the spring, the male swims towards the female with its bill in the water and the two birds eventually nibble at each other's feathers; both birds then build the nest out of twigs in emergent vegetation and defend it with ferocity.

Happy New Week! Today's British bird is the Common Blackbird. Always a lovely one to see. I hope you have a great week. 😊💖 I have a dog commission on the go and I am working on several sea glass ornaments! Should be a very creative week! 😀💗 #commonblackbird #blackbird #birdart #britishbirds

Today’s alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Perched, birds standing on anything except branches.

I’ve chosen this vibrant greenfinch 💚

From The Wildlife Trusts -

Greenfinches are large, chunky finches that are mostly olive-green, but with a yellow patch on the wings and tail. Females are grey-green with less yellow.

Happy Tuesday! Here's the next bird on my British birds list. A Eurasian Blue Tit. I really miss these little cuties! I hope you have a great week! 💙💛 #eurasionbluetit #bluetit #britishbirds #myownartchallenge

Can anyone tell me what this bird is? Initially I was hoping it was a nuthatch, now I think it just has a deformed beak poor thing, though it seems healthy enough.
But what is it?

I’ve hand-coloured the beaks of my blackbird linocut prints with yellow watercolour. Is that cheating?! 🤔💛 What do you think? Would you like one for your wall?

Baby Woody has discovered the garden spa. 🐦💚 A cautious paddle, a refreshing drink and a little quality time by the water — not bad for a first-class pigeon retreat. 😄
