A few weeks ago I took
my bird group to the WOW Centre at the RSPB Belfast Reserve and these are Black tailed
Godwit just getting their breeding plumage and a Black headed gull collecting
nesting material.
I am linking with
WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.
Many thanks for
visiting and also leaving comments.
I'd love to see some summer plumage Blackwits: sadly they are pretty scarce over here in Japan.........
ReplyDeleteWow, they are beautiful with the orange and black stripes. They say that birds stand on one leg to conserve their warmth.
ReplyDeleteI hope the breeding and the nesting are both successful. Stunning birds. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThey all look rather sleepy. Nice colors on them,
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for their nesting and breeding, they are so fun to see. I just adore their long stick legs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds! I love the colors on the Godwit! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the Godwits.
ReplyDeleteLove how they stand on one leg....their Spring plumage is beautiful. Lucky birding group!
ReplyDeleteThe godwits are beautiful in their transitional plumage and the black-headed gull is a dapper fella. I enjoyed your post!
