The Eurasian nuthatch ( Sitta europaea ) is one of the few birds that can climb down tree trunks headfirst, thanks to its strong legs and sharp claws. Unlike woodpeckers, it doesn't use its tail for support when climbing-just its feet! It hides seeds and insects in tree bark crevices for later, especially in winter .

Barometer Earthstar Astraeus hygrometricus. This fungus is associated with trees, English Oak at this site. A hygroscopic layer inside the rays causes them to open in damp conditions which are beneficial for spore dispersal. Stover Country Park, Devon thanks @2turrell.bsky.social
A very different atmosphere at Wastwater from the photo I posted yesterday. The fells in the background, the blue cloudy sky, blue lake and rust coloured bracken in the foreground and on the fells. I always think the fells look as though they are wearing camouflage fatigues in my photo.😄

Looking towards Ely Cathedral across a rose garden. On the right is a stone pillar surmounted by a globe. On the left edge of the photo is the corner of the Great Hall, or Bishop's House.
Looking forward to summer. Ely. A magical place

One of my male yellow-throated Acorn Woodpeckers looks like he's seen enough of today's bs, kinda like after you watch any news for 5 minutes or so, with a clockwork-orange-stare while his extended red crown betrays certain agitation as he leans off the top of the Pole of Fortune against clear blue sky. Artsy. Like Andy Warhol.
Woodpecker post! 🤘😶🌫️

Thank you Shelby for your kindness. I hope all is well with you and you have a good day ahead. 🤗👋🕊️
Thank you Mick... would love to see your painting if you do decide to paint a bee! 😊
Oil painting of a yellow and pale peachy coloured grass hillside, with patches of green gorse and trees, with a kestrel in the cloudy sky. In the foreground are 3 deer
An oil sketch recently painted based on a local scene.
Note to wildlife photographers: No attempt made to accurately represent the local deer :)
And a Kestrel flying above, which I often see here.
For me its a pleasant deer dream - me watching them watching me :)
Many thanks Den... hope you have a good day ahead 😊🕊️👋
Many thanks Anna 🙏🤗
Great photo Tommy... that is a beautiful thrush! 👍

A blue jay is perched on a tree branch with an out of focus soft green background. The jay is looking over its shoulder at the camera enticingly.
If birds could twerk then I imagine that's what this Blue Jay would be doing as it shows off its #blue #stripes for today's #BirdOfTheDay photo.

A beauty... lovely close-up capture Linda, wonderful to see all the details 👏 💜
Hope you have a good day x
A tufted duck captured while preening feathers and bathing. He is using one foot to wipe away water from his left side and in the process, gives the appearance of hiding from the camera lens. The surrounding water reflecting the golden hues of the sun.
It is not all about the birds. Though sometimes when you see a bird in motion it becomes all about the birds. A tufted duck looking somewhat shy! #ukwildlife #birds #tuftedduck #wildlifephotography #photography #nature
Wonderful! 👏
