I suggested I take a video of my mate Matthew preparing for his birthday barbeque on Sunday, and he does this.. and in one take! 🤖 Pretty impressive, I thought! A real child of the eighties, eh?! 😂 #TheRobot #BBQ

Don't forget me! Almost as soon as the wood pigeon had finished having his photo taken, a collared dove took his turn! 😁 Taken yesterday on my phone at my friend's place #WoodPigeon #CollaredDove #Kent #England #birdsoftheworld #birds

You see these two? Ms. Cowbird probably snuck her egg into the nest 🪺 of Ms. Finch a few weeks ago. And now they are casually sitting next each other sharing food at the café without the house finch realizing she’s been bamboozled into incubating this lady’s egg. 🥚 #birds #ScamArtist

I came across this Eagle while hiking a trail. I barely had time to lift my camera as it took off. Not perfect, but at least I have a record of the sighting. #birds #birdphotography #baldeagle #sony #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #birdsoftheworld

Thirty seconds of a jackdaw (Coloeus monedula) preening itself on a rooftop on a warm mid June evening, made to look old, well.. just because 🙂 Unfortunately, full zoom on my phone meant I couldn't keep it as centered as I would have liked 😔 #WesternJackdaw #Jackdaws #Kent #England #birdsoftheworld
