Morning birders. Today's 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 joke (...or is it?). Keep safe y'all. xx

Good morning birders. Today's 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 birders. Today's is the ominously named 'Corvus corone', the ubiquitous and highly intelligent Carrion Crow. I call this one 'Khyber', after my favourite Carry On.

Here are all three of these together! Each was based on a photo I took of a bird captured during MAPS or TMAPS bird banding over the last couple years. I might do more in the next few weeks, it's fun to come up with costumes!

Morning lockdown birders. Today's 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 #

Morning lockdown birders. As it's today's 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.

There are ~150k historic images of nature available from the Biodiversity Heritage Library covering the centuries. A look through their Flickr page is well worth it (https://t.co/967dBvRe6w). These odd Auks are from The Birds of Great Britain, v7, 1795-1801.
