Bird of the Day, theme 'One Two Three Four'

natureJul 25, 20261123,681

Bird of the Day is a daily community photo prompt; today’s main theme is One Two Three Four, meaning four photos showing one, two, three, and four of the same bird, with an alternate theme For Janet asking for robins. Contributors share wildlife photography and field shots, often matching the numerically sequenced challenge and the robin tribute. Standout entries include Atlantic puffins from the Isle of May, a set pairing one Great Crested Grebe, two Common Kingfishers, three American White Pelicans, and four Sanderling, plus rooks from County Galway and Australian pelicans interpreted as Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre. Look for close robin portraits for the alt theme, multi-bird shorebird groupings, and staged sequences that satisfy the 1-2-3-4 requirement, tagged #OneTwoThreeFour and #ForJanet.

Good morning, I’m going with Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay alt, as it’s a Saturday morning and I’m bone idle, still in bed and the fact it’s for #ForJanet❤️ I took so many photos of this little one with a skirt on. Here’s another. Have a lovely weekend #birds #photography #ECK #ForJanet❤️ #SmallBirdSaturday

A European robin faces the camera head-on while perched on a weathered tree stump. Its vivid orange-red face and breast contrast beautifully with its soft grey-white belly and warm brown upperparts. The robin’s feathers are fluffed out, with wispy side feathers and a slightly untidy tail giving it a charming, windblown appearance. Tiny pale legs grip the rough bark as the bird gazes directly into the lens, creating an engaging portrait. The background is a smooth, dark green blur that isolates the robin and emphasises the rich colours, intricate feather textures, and endearing, puffed-up stance.

Ya know there's a law against excessive cuteness! No not you and your sexi knees, but the Robin.

The way I read what you've written means that you haven't met your own theme, mate. 😁 Lovely shots though.

Great set of photos, Rob. 👌🏼 Now, that’s a challenge. Not sure it’s one that I can meet. I’ll just enjoy everyone else’s photos. 🫶🏻

Our friend Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme for my late wife's favourite bird, the #Robin. I've chosen two new birds plus Roberto, the garden visitor she fell in love with but who disappeared soon after her death. #ForJanet #Birds #ECK #naturephotography

Main picture is the now departed European Robin redbreast who we called Roberto, posing in profile, facing right, on a wet wooden fence post outside our home; top right is a juvenile bird, in profile but facing left, still sporting its mottled brown chest plumage that is showing some signs of redness; below right, is a smaller but more mature Robin with full rusty red bib and face mask. It is facing the camera but is captured from slightly above and looks inquiringly to the left. Both these birds stand on a gritty border, scattered with peanuts from a bird feeder above.

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OneTwoThreeFour & in a shock, I've managed to meet it as written. Australian Pelicans (see alt for much more) Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre - read 'em and weep playahs! #ECK #birds #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #Photography #Nikon #wildlife #nature

Un: Australian Pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus) at the University of Queensland Lakes, Brisbane, casts a baleful eye (with its gorgeous yellow eye-ring, and it's lovely pink bill with blue go-faster pinstriping) over a brazen interloper disrupting its precious beauty nap.

Tequila, a Yellow-naped parrot, dries off in the yard after her shower. She is green with a yellow nape and is perched in front of blurred green leaves and yellow flowers. She is in profile, facing right, and her head is tilted up. Her right eye is orange with upper and lower lashes and a white skin ring.

When I saw Rob's (@robcrank68.bsky.social) #BirdOfTheDay theme of #OneTwoThreeFour, I thought no way that I can come up with those images. And then I remembered this day at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #conservation

🪶 Rob has picked #OneTwoThreeFour for today’s #BirdOfTheDay. I’m going with the Alt. of #ForJanet (any Robin species); for #SmallBirdSaturday as well. European Robin shot through the trees #birds #birdsofbluesky #birdphotography #ECK #irishbirding #naturephotography #ColorADay #GreenSat #Robin

A European Robin perched on a large, diagonal trunk of a trees shot through the forest. The bird is centre of frame with its back turned to camera and its head turned to the right to look back over its right shoulder. Its tail, wings, back and head are visible. The tree trunk it is perched on runs diagonally from the bottom centre of frame to the top right; taking up the whole lower right side of the shot. The shot is framed in out of focus green leaves in the foreground and the background is out of focus green leaves against a dark backdrop

Oh they're lovely, Jane, especially 2 & 4. And yes, that's the most elegant solution to the conundrum set by Rob, I think.
