This does not happen very often! Black tailed Godwits, Avocet, Ringed Plover and Curlew Sandpiper all in the same shot! @RSPBMinsmere@RareBirdAlertUK@BirdGuides
Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), East Claydon, Bucks.
It was nice to confirm breeding of a pair fairly close to me, with at least four young in the nest. Common Kestrel is of course no where near as common as it used to be in the UK and is now amber listed.
@eweissunburied@nickpopemod Very sorry to hear this news, Nick was very generous with Wildlife photos from the USA which we still share on our social media. Our deepest condolences ❤️

White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus): This 18cm (7.1in) Aquatic passerine is not exclusive to, but can be found in Upland and Mountain areas in the Middle East, Central Asia, Europe and the Indian subcontinent. #dipper#aquatic#bird#wildlife#nature
Merry Christmas 🎄
European Robin (Erithacus rubecula): The "Robin Redbreast" was given its nickname long before a distinction was made in the English language between "Red" & "Orange". Superb photo taken by Martina Olivia of this fluffy Robin taken in the UK.
Not a British species, but the Scarlet Ibis, sometimes called red ibis (Eudocimus ruber), is a vibrantly plumaged species of ibis in the bird family Threskiornithidae. It inhabits tropical South America and part of the Caribbean
Many wildflowers hold some kind of symbolism, but few are as profound as the poppy (family Papaveraceae). This is recognised by many as a symbol of remembrance.. #wewillrememberthem#remembrance#poppy#poppies 🏵️
