It's been a grey old day, so much so I couldn't find the motivation to go out. But at 4pm I thought I'd just take a stroll round the Local reserve (Summer Leys), not expecting any/many photo opportunities. But I saw a few interesting things and had a go at capturing them with an ounce of over exposure.
This one is ' Three Wise Long-tailed tit Juveniles'
A Gray Catbird standoff? Not totally sure what the bird on the right is. Also, tree removal going on in our neighborhood, ahh the sounds of suburbia. 4/n
Don’t know why I took so long to try Merlin. When I manage to remember my hearing aids on a hike or run in the woods it’s amazing how full of life it is, but even sitting here on our deck it’s pretty busy. This app is nicely done. #birds#merlinapp
Not the best pic but my first of the Eastern towhee👍
Been hearing them the past two years but not had a chance to photograph. Very cute birds and I ran across it while it was singing its heart out so I got to watch its behavior for a while. Awesome first encounter 🙂

A Spix’s #macaw perches in a tree in a breeding facility in Curaçá, eastern #Brazil. The species is clinging to life: declared #extinct in the wild, it now mainly persists in protected habitats, although Brazil hopes to re-establish a wild population before long.
