Bird of the Day is a daily community event with today’s theme Ebony & Ivory, spotlighting birds with black and white plumage and an alternate theme All White for all-white birds. The gallery features wildlife photography and bird portraits emphasizing contrast, quiet dawn reflections, and feeding or flight action, with standout high-key white egret and swan images alongside classic black-and-white species. Concrete examples include a Mute Swan portrait taken in Co. Galway, a Little Egret fishing in a still tidal pool at dawn, and a Pied Avocet flying over El Hondo, Spain. Look for black-and-white plumage such as terns, pied stilts, razorbills, and magpies, and tag your own shots with #Ebony&Ivory or #AllWhite to join in.
