Pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) standing on some moss and looking towards the camera.
After a long day at the birding hide in #Espelo we were almost ready to head home. Hoping a little bit for a sparrowhawk, but then this little guy showed up who gave us some nice opportunities for photos!
New #lifer for me!

Zappy's Flycatcher, a mainly deep blue bird with darker wings and lores, and a white belly and undertail. Differs from the very similar Blue-and-white Flycatcher, which has an almost black throat and breast. Perched on a thick branch in trees.
Zappy's Flycatcher, a mainly deep blue bird with darker wings and lores, and a white belly and undertail. Differs from the very similar Blue-and-white Flycatcher, which has an almost black throat and breast, more evenly demarcated from the white. Perched on a thick branch high in trees, seen mainly from below.
Black Bittern, a small dark heron with a striking cream throat patch and thick streaking in deep maroon and cream on the neck and breast. Photographed in dry reeds in very low light.
A Reticulated Python, a very large snake, curled up in water among vegetation, largely obscured, but with the grey, yellow and black wavy pattern clearly visible.
A two #lifer day for me in #Bangkok today. A smashing male Zappy's Flycatcher this morning, then 2 Black Bittern almost in the dark this evening. Bonus of 2 Reticulated #Python later. All in Benchakitti Park.

Incredible! Leach’s Petrel - a bird that lives in the open ocean for most of the year, feeding beyond the edge of the continental shelf of Europe - 40+ miles inland at Misson, Notts this morning. Wow, wow, wow. A knock-out bird. #lifer #ukbirding #birdsseenin2026 #birds #nottsbirding

I saw a Northern Shrike this morning (Springwater County, On), but didn’t manage to get a photo, and now I’ll get absolutely nothing done because I’ll be hanging out by my windows all day hoping to see him again..

Making friends with a fox sparrow that showed up in my backyard during/after the blizzard. It was out there eating seeds again this morning. I feel kinda honored to be a safe haven for this migrating friend. It’s so cool to have a rare-ish lifer just outside my window! #birdsky #foxsparrow #lifer

Our #birdoftheday theme from @alan678.bsky.social & @robcrank68.bsky.social is #feeders. From the same feeding station as yesterday's Peacock-pheasant at Bukit Tinggi #Malaysia, another #lifer for me was a pair of gorgeous Ferruginous Partridge.
