Cold Feet? A Dark-eyed Junco perches #OnOneLeg on a snow/sleet-covered branch in late January as tiny ice crystals still fall. I assume that branch is freezing cold, but I’ve seen birds retract one leg this way in warm weather, too. #birds #BirdoftheDay #photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OnOneLeg, birds balancing on one leg. Here's a great egret with one leg tucked away, looking rather like it's growing out of this tree. 🪶 #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #photography #birdphotography #BlueskyMonday

For today's #birdoftheday theme of #seasonal here's a splendid Bearded Reedling. They never leave but we only send to get good views at this time of year as they switch their diet and need grit to assist digestion of seeds. #birds #BeardedReedling #BeardedTit #RSPB #LeightonMoss #Lancashire

As this young Aussie Willy Wagtail grows up and goes through its first adult moult, all those brownish and rusty-tipped feathers on its back and wings will be replaced by rich, glossy jet-black plumage. 🍂🪽 #Black&White #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #NaturePhotograph #Wildlife #ECK
