Morning lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the one most close to my heart, the Curlew. Born & raised in Haworth (100 years away from the Brontes & 10 miles away from Ted Hughes) I wandered the moors listening to 'the curlew’s tear turned its edge on the silence' . xx

Morning #Lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the onomatopoeiacally-named Chiffchaff. This one's named Callas, after my favourite warbler. xx

Morning #COVIDー19 birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the Rook, named after the chess piece as it can only fly in straight lines or turn at 90 degree angles. No, that's an #AprilFoolsDay joke (...or is it?). Keep safe y'all. #HateCovid19 #LoveCorvids2020 xx

Morning #lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the Song Thrush. This one's a tad more sparkling than Thomas Hardy's 'darkling' version. (Which is not an excuse to shamelessly plug my recent collaboration with the great @exitthelemming) No no. xx https://t.co/N1p2pUmz2T

Good morning #Covid_19 birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the George Clooney of garden birds, the Bullfinch. Lucky are you who find him at your feeder. I call this one Rosemary after George's famous sister. xx

Morning #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe ornithologists. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the Robert Redford of the crow family, the Jay. This Jay is called Jay, after Jay Gatsby, a fancy pants if ever there was one (as played by Robert Redford). #HateCovid19 #LoveCorvids2020

Morning #CoronaLockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the ominously named 'Corvus corone', the ubiquitous and highly intelligent Carrion Crow. I call this one 'Khyber', after my favourite Carry On. #HateCovid19 #LoveCorvids2020

Morning lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the Goldfinch. As the poet Patrick Kavanagh once wrote:

The goldfinches on the railway paling were worth looking at
A man might imagine then
Himself in Brazil and these birds the birds of paradise

Keep safe folks. xx #

@MisterSlang A small we pressy. Nothing to crow about. xx

Morning lockdown birders. As it's #MothersDay today's #BirdyOfTheDay is Mrs Bullfinch. Google would give her a sunflower though she'd really prefer some sunflower seeds - so why not stick some in your feeder. xx Requests welcome.
