Time for me to put my feet up, have a beer and watch a movie. Be good to yourselves. Open that bottle of wine or bottle of beer. It’s the weekend. #BirdOfTheDay and a bonus bug #WaterDroplets #birds #photography #ECK

A close-up of a little egret bending its long white neck over dark, rippling water as it catches a tiny fish at the tip of its black bill. Droplets fall from the prey and beak, creating small rings on the surface, while the bird’s pale eye and smooth white plumage stand out against the muted blue-grey water.

This Anna's Hummingbird is bathing in a small spring. It was the first and only time I’ve ever seen any hummingbird with their feet immersed in water. #BirdOfTheDay #WaterDroplets #birds #aves #colibri #hummingbirds #NaturePhotography

For #BirdOfTheDay theme #WaterDroplets A Blackbird shows how it's done on warm sunny days. #Spain #Birds #Blackbird #EurasianBlackbird #TurdusMerula #Summer

An Eurasian Blackbird poised on the edge of a small pool of water, it has just come out off after a good bath. The bird stands on the tip of its claws with it's wings open and up ready to fly. It is surrounded by waterdrops from it's wings and dripping from all over.

#Birds Rob Crank Photography‬ ‪@robcrank68.bsky.social‬ says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterDroplets, any bird capture with splashes of water. This is a Bufflehead drake diving under water.

The tail end of a duck diving under water. The white under side of it's tail end and the bright orange of it's legs, stand out against the deep olive green coloured water. Coming off the end of the black tailfeathers, is an arc of water droplets.

#BirdoftheDay #WaterDroplets Tricolored Heron taking off from a shallow pond at #AnahuacNWR, March 2026. #birds #originalcontent #photography 📷🪶

A tricolored heron is taking off from a shallow pond, dripping drops of water as it rises. Its wings are up and out over its head and its long legs are trailing below, just above the water which shows golden in the early morning light. The bird is colored in shades of light blue, deep lavender-blue and white.

Gotta make sure every feather is clean. Sanderling enjoying a wash in the waves - until a Bonxie flew over. The Shetlands, today #BirdOfTheDay #WaterDroplets #Birds #BirdsSeenin2026 #SensoryArt #Motion #SmallBirdSaturday #BlueSkyArtShow #Morning #EastCoastKin #ArtYear

Photo of a Sanderling, a small wader with streaky brown plumage on its back and a delicate long black beak, washing in the shallow water at the edge of the sea creating multiple water droplets. 3 other, out of focus, sanderling are standing in the water to its left.

"When the Red, Red Robin (Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along)" The bird is blurry as it shakes off after a bath, but I liked how the slow shutter speed made the water drops into lines. #BirdOfTheDay #WaterDroplets #robins #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSForSongs #SensoryArt #motion #ECK #EastCoastKin #birds

An American robin on a rock photographed from behind as it shakes off after a bath. The bird is blurry and the water droplets appear as lines around it due to the slow shutter speed. There are rocks and grass in the background.
