Puffin exercising its wings on the Aberdeenshire coastline

This title is probably a misnomer. It implies that the Blue Jay is preparing to land, when in actuality it is just taking off with a sunflower seed in its beak. However, having caught the bird with its wings in downward motion, I am hoping this title will fly (pun intended.)

Taken back in 2019 I only got around to looking through these shots yesterday. This cuckoo was coming in to land on his favourite post.

One from the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands on this day last year.

So nice and quiet in the morning, the birds mostly busy going about their routine of washing up and preening their beautiful feathers. The silence is only broken by the occasional sound of wing flaps from the Mallards or Swans when shaking the water off their feathers and if I'm very lucky a Loon will call out from a distance. I enjoy this time very much.... :)

I think those wings look really cool!

This adult Sandhill Crane is poised to rapidly descend to land at Creamer's Field during the Sandhill Crane Festival. I find this position to be rather interesting as they can quickly come down without having to flap their wings until they're just ready to touch down and then a couple of flaps just above the ground to brake for a soft landing.

The mighty Cob flaps his wings to show off his size and tell the lesser swans who is the Daddy!
