Happy #TwosDay from these #two Great Crested Grebes I saw this morning 💕 Do you have images of two #birds or 2️⃣ of anything else you'd like to share? #photography #artchallenge #photographyisart #naturephotography #twofer #doublebill #Tuesday #grebe #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #pair

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #UpAndDown: #birds looking up or down - how fortunate that I got to hang out with a bunch of young Kestrels earlier today, this one looking #down ⬇️ #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪 #Raptors #raptor #nature #photography #naturephotography #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography

Late for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay prompt #Orange because I spent some time with the Bee-eaters ⬇️ today. And they do have orange in their plumage, along with most any other color it seems 😍🌈 #birds #eck #naturephotography #photography #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlife #colours #colorful

I went to see some European Bee-eaters today 😍 #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪 #birds #nature #naturephotography

#BirdOfTheDay alt today is #Swans How fitting that I just got to spend some time with this baby #swan (aka "cygnet") 🦢 Look at these itty bitty tiny wings 🐥 #birds #ducks #water #white #eck #photography #nature #birdphotography #wildlife #naturephotography

#Rotund is today's #BirdOfTheDay theme says Rob: #birds looking rather plump. How'bout this Common Kingfisher striking a classic #borb pose? 💙🤍🧡 #photography #artchallenge #artshare #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #birdphotography #birdlovers #eastcoastkin #eck

Did u know #Crows are #Songbirds? They are! With today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #Passerine, it's their moment to shine ✨😍 Here's a Pied Crow bullying an Osprey (same poor bird. as in the earlier shot being harassed by a Kite...). Since Ospreys are #Raptors, it's a #BOTD double bill. #birds #eck

For @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Raptors, here's a Yellow-billed Kite in hot pursuit of an Osprey, the latter with fish in talons. Classic action shot. 📸 #birds #natue #eck #botd #birdwatching #naturephotography #raptor #birdofprey #osprey #kite

The early bird catches the worm 🪱🐦 Like this Little Ringed Plover I saw yesterday, my choice for the #YourChoice theme of today's #BirdOfTheDay 😀 You may need to zoom in to actually see the worm, it's so tiny 🔬🧐 #eck #birds #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #artshare #birding

As per Alan H, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SilentPresence Capturing moments where #birds appears calm, watchful, or contemplative rather than active How about this dreamy Little Ringed Plover resting on the river bank? #naturephotography #nature #BirdsSeenIn2026 #wildlife #StunDay #artshare

Skylark with the groceries for the kids... Bird parents are so busy... #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #naturephotography

#WaderWednesday you say? I say: any day is wader day! Saw this beauty in the morning: Common Ringed Plover Sadly, only a very uncommon passage migrant around here #birds #nature #naturephotography #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #waders #shorebirds #seabirds #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪

🥳 This made my day 🎉: Northern Lapwing 😍 Not only is it my first decent frame of these special #birds, it also seems like there's a pair breeding nearby - such great news for this exceedingly rare species 😄 #nature #photography #eck #naturephotography #wildlife #birding #birdwatching #lapwing

Happy #FlyDay folks! Spread your wings and soar into the weekend 😌 Northern Lapwing on the wing #birds #TGIF #Friday #weekend #photography #flying #wings #lapwing #naturephotography #nature #birdphotography #wildlife #eck

"Taking the leap..." Great Tit (Parus major) contemplating her next move in life. And one of her first, actually - this is a juvenile, fledged not many days ago from her nest in a cavity, alongside many siblings. What's your next move? #birds #nature #photography #naturephotography

Male Northern Shoveler up close 🦆 Check out that beak 😃 #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #duck #ducks #waterfowl #nature #wildlife #photography #birdphotography #naturephotography

#BirdOfTheDay today's #BestOfTheMonth I'm notoriously bad at making up my mind on these things - one moment I prefer one shot, the next another. But I'm really pleased with these four - right now, anyway 🙈 - and hope you like 'em too 🤗 #birds #nature #photography #naturephotography #BirdsSeenIn2026

I saw a Red-backed Shrike today, and what can I say? "I like Shrike!" 😆 Hope you do too. #birds #naturephotography #wildlife #nature #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪

💕 Cute couple 😍 Little Ringed Plovers - or is it Little Ringed Lovers...? 🥰 ♀️to the left, ♂️ to the right #birds #shorebirds #waders #nature #photography #eck #naturephotography #BirdStories #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #couple #love #BirdSeenIn2026

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #StaringRightAtYou (any #birds staring right at you) & Alt Theme #Yellow (any bird with Yellow in its plumage): Blue Tit 💙💚💛 #eck #photographyisart #artshare #birdstories #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #stunday #sunday #wildlife #photography #birding

I saw an angel today 👼 Little Egret #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪 #birds #nature #photography #eck #naturephotography #angel #wildlife #egret #heron

Sanderling on the Rhine b/w Cologne & Bonn today. Far, far away from the coast and beach... 🏖️ ... and so pretty... 😍 This one's molting into breeding plumages, w/ the 1st traces of orange/ #red showing, so technically it might qualify for #BirdOfTheDay 🙌 #birds #naturephotography #BirdsSeenIn2026

@alan678.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ScrollBack, going through your most recent bird photos. Well, last Saturday was my most recent #birding outing and among a ton of fascinating #birds was this African Paradise Flycatcher 😍 #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇰🇪 #naturephotography #nature #eck

#DucksInTheAir for #BirdOfTheDay today: Red-crested Pochard flying overhead #birds #eck #photography #artshare #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇩🇪

Saturday was good to me: one day, two eagles 🦅🦅 Crowned Eagle (left) and Long-crested Eagle (right) Both seen in Karura Forest, Nairobi, Kenya #raptor #Raptors #nature #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #photography #eck #naturephotography #eagle #wildlife

"A single swallow doesn't make it spring yet" is how a German proverb goes. So here's 2 swallows then: Plain Martin & Black Sawwing. Will this make the weather turn more #spring -like pretty please...? It sure is wet, cold and dreary considering the time of year here in 🇩🇪🌧️ #BirdsSeenIn2026🇰🇪 #birds

Some days in #birding the stars just align ✨ Like when u sit there & think: a bird I'd love to see is a Hamerkop - then u look up and see this ⬇️ It circled a few times until I had managed to capture some frames, then disappeared 😮😊 Or wait, is this a flying dinosaur...🤔? #BirdsSeenIn2026🇰🇪 #birds

Here's another... #birds #naturephotography #nature

White-backed Duck 🦆 with #ruffled feathers for @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme today. Seen & photographed yesterday at Karura Forest, Nairobi, Kenya, at 25° C 😊 - now back in Bonn (me, not the duck...) where it's 11° C... 🥶 #BirdsSeenIn2026 🇰🇪 #birds #ducks #nature #eck #naturephotography
