I’ve been in a pretty bad bird photography drought. But, as always, Gulls are so photogenic. Also, bonus Godzilla toy photography . #SuperSeabirdSunday #ringbilledgull #godzilla

A photo of a ring-billed gull from behind, looking to the right

Shot from the ground level, 5 different colored Godzilla toys lined up in the grass. From left to right: pink, orange, blue, green, and a different pink. In the upper right corner, there’s a full flying

Looked at my photos Windbirds pelagic from 2018 of Band-rumped Petrels. Looks like I may have both Madeiran and Monterio's photographed! The latter (2nd bird) being straighter billed and tail more notched? Thanks to @johngale8.bsky.social for pointing this out #SuperSeabirdSunday

A small, light-grey and white phalarope floats calmly on rippling greenish water. The bird features a white head and underbelly with soft grey feathers across its back and wings, a dark patch behind its eye, and a slender, dark beak with a hint of orange near the base.

#WingsOpenNotFlying is the main #BirdOfTheDay theme today, and it’s #SuperSeabirdSunday, so here is an almost-fledgling Gannet, white downy fluff almost all gone, trying out his or her wings at Bempton Cliffs last last month. Post #11 in this #Gannets thread. #Birds #Photography #UKWildlife #ECK 🌿

A photo of an almost-fledgling Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus) sat on a cliffside nest with wings held wide open. The bird is facing towards the rocky cliff and so has their back, and their left side, towards us. The left wing partly obscures the adult Gannet, snoozing on the edge of the nest platform. Gannets are large seabirds, the adults are mostly white in colour but have black wingtips, and yellowish-brown colouration on the tops of their heads which extends down the upper parts of the backs and sides of their necks. The chicks start off with a covering of white, fluffy down, but the one in this photo has little of that left - the head is well covered, as are the lower flanks, by the base of the tail, and there are few small patches on the wings. Elsewhere, the bird is covered with dark blackish-grey feathers, each with a small whitish spot or streak at its tip. The long, pointed beak, the eyes, the short legs and webbed feet, are all blackish in colour.

Some of the Dunbar harbour wildlife inhabitants. At high tide the great black backed gulls, a male eider and a cormorant were all close in with Dunbar castle and its #RNLI flag, blowing in the breeze, as a backdrop.

#Puffin! Posted before, I'm sure you'll see him again, love this puffin just doing his thing on the #IsleOfMay in May. #SuperSeabirdSunday

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.
As it's also #SuperSeabirdSunday I'll go with my #puffin again!

Two Terns twisting and turning (or should that be ‘terning’?) over the sea at Cemlyn Bay, Anglesey, back at the beginning of July, and qualifying for today’s #BirdOfTheDay themes #Black&Red and #LongBeak. Post #4 in this #birds thread. #BirdPhotography #ECK #UKWildlife #SuperSeabirdSunday 🌿

Photo of two Terns - Common Sterna hirundo or Arctic (Sterna paradisaea) - in flight above the sea. The one on the left side of the image has his or her upper side towards us, wings outstretched and tail fanned out, with head turned to look down towards the bottom right corner of the picture. In that corner is the second Tern, flying towards us and to our left, head turned to look across towards the left side of the image, with the upper sides of the wings facing us (one stretched right out and the other folded back a little), and tail angled downward and so almost entirely hidden from our view (but it appears that it is fanned out). Terns are like smaller, slimmer and more elegant versions of Gulls. These two are mostly white in colour, with grey on the upper sides of the wings, black tops to their heads. Their long, slim beaks are red; possibly with a black tip in the case of one of them, which would make the bird a Common Tern.
