- First birds of my day: a trio of Magpie flying rapidly North up my street while a solo Dunnock sang from the roof ridge opposite. (Fave birbs thus far? The pair of Great Spotted Woodpecker noisily chasing each other around the park after I heard one of them drumming!) #FirstBirdOfMyDay #UKBirding
- @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social finches, thrushes? A few goldfinch twittering as they crossed the street between the aerials, not seen one in the garden since maybe 2021, they peaked in Covid. Heard not seen in the damp, grey gloom #FirstBirdofMyDay

- They are cool birds brambling. A chilly damp morning updating poster boards in the Park ahead of Wassail tomorrow. Serenaded by a gaggle of great tits and then flushed a huddle of four dunnocks along the bowling green hedge bottom. One already got extended pairing ? #FirstBirdofMyDay
- First bird of my day: a brambling where I feed the farmland birds aka excitement overload ! #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
- First bird of my day: a Song thrush singing his heart out on a markedly lighter morning and beneath him, the bank is bedecked with snowdrops. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
- Well sunny for a change here. The blackbird must have known as it was greeting the first signs of dawn with song, or was it celebrating your win in Scotland? #FirstBirdofMyDay
- First bird of my day: an Edinburgh pigeon looking resplendent despite the grey dedicated to the one & only @markruskell who only went & passed the swift brick law in Scotland last night! #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
- Very wet and quiet crow called as I left the house to cycle into town. The gathering, not a parliament ? of four dozen where foraging on the Moor again #FirstBirdofMyDay
- First bird of my day: robins singing under the street light all night long. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

- First bird of my day: a fly-by of red legged partridges in the dark as I walked along a hedgerow envious of mud-free travel. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
- First bird of my day: the tawny owls all night long which I appreciated since I was wide awake. Didn’t see them but they’ve been my companions for hours. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
- Late again. Some of the four dozen crows in the big park. Appropriately I was on my way to a memorial service. #FirstBirdofMyDay
- First bird of my day: a blackbird running in the dark. Like a beserk, shrieking jogger with anger management issues, chasing another. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours
- I'm feeling a need to see one. Once again a blackbird before the dawn - this time singing briefly, perhaps with joy at the rain having finally ceased. Followed a while later by the omnipresent crows - but only calling a single triple once before the silence returns. #FirstBirdofMyDay
- First bird of my day: Yellowhammer looking at me from his hedge, his head made of sunshine feathers. I love these birds. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
- Eventually the ink blue of a wet dawn progressed to dove grey, only about 12.30 did a blackbird attract my attention piping gently - all the rowan berries have gone. #FirstBirdofMyDay
- First bird of my day: Yikes! A barn owl flying over the field towards a barn, perhaps where it calls home, as the nocturnal shift ends. Silent and beautiful. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

- Again the Battersea crowd predawn Now watching them on the tidal mud by the Park Lots of gulls, various waterfowl, piebald Egyptian geese flashing their way down the Thames. The ever present parakeets squawking behind In the distance the tallest buildings disappear in the clouds #FirstBirdofMyDay
