Rob named "RedBeaks" as this week’s BirdOfTheDay theme, asking photographers to share birds with red on their bills. Photographers submitted specific species such as Atlantic Puffins, Caspian Terns, red-billed oxpeckers, northern cardinals and red-crested pochards, with photos shot in Reykjavik, Isle of May, Panama, Bonita Springs and Bateman’s Bay. The alternate theme Paridae generated Great Tit and other tit images from County Galway and elsewhere. The prompt highlights how a single color trait links seabirds, songbirds and parrots and offers a simple way to compare beak variation and seasonal plumage across regions.
