I too have set up a bsky account. I'll be dual-posting to X and bsky to see how it goes.

Another hot summer ride around Eynsford and Meopham this morning. 🌾🌾🌾🚴🏻‍♂️🐦🐄🌾🌾🌲🦋🌾🌾🌾🐦🦅🌾🌾🌲🦋🐈🐈‍⬛🌾🌾🌾🌲🌳🌲🌾🌲🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🐦‍⬛🐄🐄🌾🌾🌾

I've not had much time for bird photography recently, but I was glad to see my local (East Dulwich) goldfinches have successfully fledged! At least three fledglings are flitting around my garden 😍🐦🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Hottest ride of the year for me, 33-36°C in the countryside around Cudham today! 🚴🏻‍♂️🌳🌲🐦🐄🐑🌾🌾🌾🐦‍⬛🍇🪶🦅🐛🦋🐞🥕🍅🍎🚜🌲🌳🌲

Here's a close crop of an adult female kestrel zooming past me at South Norwood Country Park yesterday. I love the heart-shaped markings on her wing lining! 😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Complete chaos at the nest box as Barry (the male kestrel) brings in the next vole. Five juveniles all flapping, calling, and climbing over each other to get to the head of the queue 😆😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

"Room for one more??" - One of the fledgling kestrels flares in to land with two of its siblings. The young kestrels have all fledged now and they are flying further from the nest box each day. 😍😍😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here's a stunning male greater whitethroat I met in South Norwood Country Park this morning. He was regularly perching and singing on the cow parsley heads, so I set up and waited. 😮😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

I took ShinyBike out for a very enjoyable ride in the countryside around Harrietsham today. Saw lots of animals in and above the fields, and lots of crops nearing harvest time 🌾🌾🌾🌾

Here's a little vid clip of four super-cute juvenile kestrels in South Norwood Country Park yesterday morning. Something left of frame evidently caught their attention, watch them all lock on and track it 😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here're four of of this year's five juvenile kestrels at South Norwood Country Park this morning. Number five was off in a tree elsewhere, having properly fledged yesterday. 😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here's Sue, the female of the kestrel pair I've been following in South Norwood Country Park. In this pic she is preening out the last vestiges of what I can only term a "spurter" of a vole she fed to the juveniles 😬🩸🦅🪶. Red in tooth and claw. #birds #birdphotography

It's not all about the blue tits (previous posts), I also have fledgling house sparrows and fledgling great tits in my East Dulwich garden this week! 🐦🐦😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here're the four juvenile kestrels, checking out their new world from the safety of the box at South Norwood Country Park last Sunday morning. They'll be fledging this week! 😍🐦🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here's a beautiful juvenile kestrel, preening out the fluffy down, in the box at South Norwood Country Park last Sunday. 😍🐦🪶 #birds #birdphotography

"The blue tit and the gnat". A fledgling blue tit in my garden looks up and tracks a tiny gnat (zoom in) 😍🐦🪰🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here's a fledgling blue tit being fed in my East Dulwich garden a couple of days back (adult left, fledgling right). They were considerate enough to pose against a dark background for me, nicely isolating them 😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

The kestrels at South Norwood Country Park are doing well! The chicks started "branching" yesterday, here's one on the roof and three still in the nest box. 😍🐦🪶 #birds #birdphotography

The stresses of bringing up young! Compare the elegant and smooth feathers of this juvenile blue tit (left) with the dishevelled state of its hard-working parent (right)! 😮🐦😍. #birds #birdphotography

Here's a gorgeous fledgling mistle thrush, sunning itself late in the afternoon at Camberwell Old Cemetery 😍🐦🪶 #birds #birdphotography
