This week's Bird of the Day theme is WaterDroplets with an alternate theme of Robins, inviting photographers to capture birds with splashes of water or any robin subject. Submissions include an American robin tending a nest then attending nestlings ten days later, a Green-winged Teal wing-flapping while preening, a little grebe surfacing in South Crete, and a European Robin bathing in a garden in south Cheshire; one photographer said they shot ethically from a distance to avoid disturbing the nest. The prompt spotlights water-focused composition and seasonal behavior across species, giving birders and photographers practical inspiration for ethical, dynamic wildlife images.
