Birdtober Day 12. Eurasian Jay.

They often make repeated trips to collect acorns from one area and cache them elsewhere, so they play a vital role in the establishment and maintenance of the few native oak woodlands still left in Ireland.

Birdtober Day 5. Little Egret.

The white ones are always tough to paint fml…

It was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe, they’re of least concern now :)

Day 4. Dipper.

Their wings are relatively short but strongly muscled, enabling them to be used as flippers underwater!
