@helenbennett.bsky.social says, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TheDivers Quite literally this #kingfisher is diving. I spent ages waiting for it to come off its favourite perch, often for it to dive in the opposite direction! Persistence pays off eventually. #birds #wildlife #eck #canon

#Birds Helen Bennett 🌿 @helenbennett.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme: is #BirdStare Any bird captured staring right back at you! I was sitting in deep shadow. This Wilson's Snipe stopped feeding and stared a moment. Realizing I was there, it exited with great haste.

Helen says BOTD is divers or any bird staring at you. Here is a favorite diver that also gives a stare! ...It appears it wants to tell us something. "HEY! This a PRIVATE beach! Get Lost!" ...ok, maybe not a favorite 😬 #TheDivers #BirdOfTheDay #BirdStare 🪶 #photography #birds
