A photograph of an ostrich standing in an open, grassy landscape. The ostrich’s long, bare neck appears slightly twisted, likely due to its natural movement or posture, giving it a distinctive look. Its large, rounded body is covered in dark, fluffy feathers, and its strong, elongated legs are clearly visible. The bird stands on a mix of green and dry grass, with a few scattered trees in the background.
Help, I've fallen into another p̶i̶g̶e̶o̶n̶ rabbit hole! I just wanted to share this photo of a fancy #pigeon with you for #Birdsday, but it turns out pigeon breeds are more complicated than Pokemon. 😵💫 (And some breeds look quite extreme, but not in a cute way)
Sooooo ... I thiiiiink this is a colour pigeon > Starling pigeon > Marmorstar ... or ... or ... a silver-laced starling? Or even a Danish Suabian breed? Maybe?
I DUNNO! I just liked the white dots on its wings! 😭 (Which, apparently, are officially called pearl markings?)
A striking image of a fancy pigeon perched on a gravel surface. The pigeon boasts a unique and eye-catching plumage pattern, predominantly white with black speckles and patches. Its head is dark, transitioning to a greenish iridescent sheen around the neck. The bird's tail feathers are black, and its legs and feet are a vivid pinkish-red.
The pigeon is standing confidently, with a blue ring band visible on one leg. The background is softly blurred, featuring lush green foliage that contrasts with the pigeon's vivid colours, drawing attention to the bird as the focal point of the image.
Happy #Wrensday! This is very likely my first and last contribution to the hashtag, but I'm pretty sure I spotted one on Monday on #YnysLlanddwyn! 🤩
Behind it is the #IrishSea, so I'm slapping #MeerMittwoch and #SeaWednesday tags on it for good measure. We're off to Snowdon after breakfast, so I don't have much time.
A serene coastal scene, where tall, dry grasses and reeds dominate the foreground, gently swaying in the breeze. Nestled among the grasses, a small bird perches delicately on a thin stalk, facing to the right. The background reveals a soft-focus view of a sandy beach, scattered with dark rocks and leading to calm, light blue waters. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, capturing the quiet beauty of nature by the seaside.
