Male sparrowhawk mantling its food in #DappledLight, Alan's alternate theme for #BirdOfTheDay. Male sparrowhawks' eyes turn from yellow to a deep orange-red as they get older, though this can be as soon as two or three years. 📍 Scotland #UKwildlife #birds

A male sparrowhawk perched on a mossy stump, mantling its food, which is out of sight on the stump. Its wings are half spread and held low to protect its food from other birds. The barring of its plumage on its breast and underside of its wings is central in the photo. Its head is half turned to the side showing one deep orange-red eye. The background is blurred bright green dappled sunlight on foliage

Two sparrowhawks having a bit of an argument during my trip to Scotland this week. There are some slightly #ruffled feathers here for @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme today. #UKwildlife #birds

Two sparrowhawks having a bit of an argument. The top one is in the air with its wings outstretched and claws down just above the other which is seen from behind leaning back also with wings outstretched on top of a mossy tree stump with ferns and a bluebell. The background is blurred green and blue from bluebells.

I've just realised it is #WoodpeckerWednesday so I had better let this green woodpecker come out and say hello! Photographed on Monday in Scotland. #UKwildlife #birds

A green woodpecker emerging from its nest hole in a tree. It is leaning down and forward with almost all of its body out of the hole. Its head is slightly raised showing its white neck, black cheek and the red on top of its head. A slight red moustache is visible, indicating it is a male. Its back and wing are pale green.

Spot the hare! It took a few attempts to get the camera to spot it! Photographed in the Cumbrian rain forest last week. When you can't get close, you photograph the animal in it's environment! 🤣 I was the other side of a fast flowing beck, and it was watching me. 📍Cumbria, UK #UKwildlife #mammals

A jumble of fallen branches in front of the base of a moss covered tree trunk with a steep slope covered in brown grass and fallen leaves behind. A hare is lying on the moss behind the tree trunk, well camouflaged and half hidden behind the branches.

A pied flycatcher captured while in Scotland last week. I didn't have to #ScrollBack very far for this as I haven't had the camera out since, @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme today. #UKwildlife #birds

Male sparrowhawk #LookingAtYou hungrily Alan's theme for #BirdOfTheDay #UKwildlife #birds

A male sparrowhawk perched on a mossy stump against a completely dark background. The bird is facing directly toward the camera, staring forward with a piercing gaze, slightly leaning forward. It has bright orange-yellow eyes, a short, hooked beak, a dark slate-gray crown and back, and a white breast heavily marked with fine, horizontal reddish-orange bars. Low-key lighting shines from the front left, highlighting one eye, the bird's face and chest, and the top of the moss while casting the rest of the scene into deep shadow.
