Current letters E or F

JOIN IN friends of the birds:

THREAD: A to Z of birds.

The idea is to create a thread of birds starting with A and ending with Z (if we get that far).

Rules:

  1. Common names not Latin names
  2. Flexibility with common names (i.e.. American Robin (A) or (R)
  3. IMPORTANT: You can post the same letter bird or the next letter forward but not backward.

(Only photographs please of any quality)

@Dolphinchaz seen these on David Attenborough's programmes. Spectacular in breeding season... Nice.

@JimsPhotos Such characters - so, so sad to see their numbers spiral downwards 😢

@Dolphinchaz the population is twindling locally? Scotland? Because here in Finland they're numerous. And seems like LC. That threw me off a bit.

And during the mating season the cocks are right bastards. 😅 @JimsPhotos

JimsPhotos,
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social avatar

@JimsPhotos And B can be for "Bonxie" the colloquial term for the Great Skua (cos they "bonk" you on top of the head if you go too near their nest) #AtoZofBIRDS

@JimsPhotos@ohai.social avatar

@Dolphinchaz What a bird, I'll take it as we are on B..

@JimsPhotos I was on a RIB touring round Orkney and this bird to a shine to my white Canon lens - I though he was trying to nick it 😂😂

JimsPhotos,
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social avatar

@Dolphinchaz the vanity of some birds. 🤣. Sounds like a trip, I'd enjoy..

@JimsPhotos Oops, D has already been posted, didn't realize - it's hard to navigate threads on here!

JimsPhotos,
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social avatar

@ahimsa_pdx it matters not. (The letters thing is just a mechanic to get the thread moving forward) . Nice photo of a great bird.

And yes, threads are hard to manage and navigate, sorry about that.

@JimsPhotos D is for Dipper.
Love these wee guys but they’re always in the darkest parts of the local waterways so tricky to get a good view!

JimsPhotos,
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social avatar

@MartinTaudio now that's a bird I want to encounter. I've seen a few photos of them, but we don't have them where I am. Thanks for sharing.

JimsPhotos,
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social avatar

I will only add to this thread sporadically to allow others to showcase their birds. (I will only add birds of the same Letter to avoid moving the thread on too quickly.

Looking forward to seeing birds from around the globe!!!!
