  1. Feathered friends in a feeder flap!
    - Jackdaws apparently put out a call about mum's fat balls, the odd 2 turned into 6 at a time.
    - Pigeons on less agile manoeuvrers, too.

  2. Caption these "Sudden Clarity Clarence" (meme) birds!:
    - Blue tit... Amazed by fat balls.
    - Coal tit... Realising they drink their own bath water!
    - Dunnock... Stunned I'm going to 'tweet' this despite a total lack of puns.

  4. A yellow Mallard Duck Chick, this is fairly rare, which is typically a hybrid or the result of crossbreeding between a wild Mallard and an escaped domestic White duck. May 2026.

  9. I liked this blackbird, sat on a ledge on a corner, watching the world go by. #ukBirds

  10. I feel rather late to the party, but a first swallow of the year! Not quite the idyllic countryside backdrop one would hope for but I kinda like that it fits perfectly in that space. #ukBirds

  11. Whoa, it's busy out there this morning! #ukBirds

  12. If you're ever down in #Devon a walk around the fields of Stantyway Farm, in the Spring sunshine, is a good way to spend a morning... Cirl Bunting, Brown Hare and Red-legged Partridge ... worth a few moments of your time (promise). #UKBirds #nature #wildlife #BirdsofMastodon #MammalsofMastodon #Hare #ukbirding

  13. Oh, a bonus first local curlew sighting of the year too. (crappy digital-zoom snap) #ukBirds #birding

  14. "I saw a Golden Eagle today. At Tebay Services."
    "Nah, I think you'll find it was a buzza … ah, ok."

  15. I've seen Moorhen hundreds of times but, like any other wildlife watching, sometimes a species does something that makes you stop and watch - no matter how often you've seen them.

  16. A tree full o’ herons spotted on this afternoon’s ride. As I rode off, an egret joined them. #cycling #ukBirds #bikeTooter

  17. While walking under a large yew at St Mary's parish church in Charlcombe, nr Bath something caught my ear and I saw a few goldcrest (I think) feeding. Then one hopped down on the floor and didn't seem to notice me #wildlife #birds #nature #ukbirds @[email protected]

  18. Red robin just minding his own business on a chilly winter day. #ukbirds

  19. Yellow-browed Warbler preening in of #Exeter green spaces. We need more of these - both the bird and the green spaces.

  20. For the second December in a row, a Yellow-browed Warbler turned up within a mile of my house. A Firecrest was a nice bonus too!

    This one was zipping about by a public path mostly in Willow.

  21. A rather splendid morning out with the three Daves - DB, DL & DS. Some good banter and some lovely #birds - I suppose the highlight were the 18 White-fronted Goose at Dart's Farm. But a male Kingfisher and Raven got me smiling.

  22. CW: Dead bird (not turkey)

    Is this some kind of Snipe? :-( #ukbirds #birding

  23. BirdBuddy Wrapped. The blue tits are the Bowie of my bird feeder. #ukbirds

  24. I had just put some mealworm out on the bird table for the birdies and this guy turned up and waited patiently for them to arrive. He's waiting ON the bird table.

    He stayed for two and a half hours! Funnily enough, no other birdies came to the table.

    I do hope he gets something to eat. Everything needs sustenance.

  25. My #Robin friend Little Mate eating his breakfast this morning. He has grown new tail feathers, but is still going through his summer moult. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

  26. I was back in the garden this afternoon, and saw three robin fledglings, including watching one fly out of the outhouse they hatched in for the first time ❤️

    Ops. Set white balance to night time by mistake!

    Seen on the golf course today.

    Steppe (Great) Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor pallidirostris)
    LC Least Concern

  28. We were hearing some unfamiliar #bird calls this afternoon.

    Liz grabbed some binoculars to track it down, which led us to finding out there are a pair of #kestrels and likely some chicks at the top of the local tower block.

    I got my #telescope out and was able to get the female in its sights while she was having a long sit.
