First bird of my day: a buzzard soaring out of oak woodland on a fell side, not far from the heron’s beck, above a lush green meadow in the wettest place in England. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: a blue tit flitting among the branches of the mock orange, accompanied by the mellifluous tones of the robin, singing again after the summer moult. The woodpigeons were nowhere to be seen. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Sulphur-crested Cockatoos. There's no ignoring them!

I had to chase them out of the garden this afternoon- they were nipping off all the new flowers on my little magnolia tree.

FBsOMD were two jackdaws which overflew the house as I opened the frontdoor. A glimpse that was over too soon!

Usually the first bird I hear is a Carolina wren, but the first one I see is a red-winged blackbird.

First bird of my day: a lone Crow crossing the valley and struggling against a strong breeze on a clear morning. #Firstbirdofmyday

A collared dove puffed up on the fence. There was a hint of steam from the coffee mug with an even fainter trace of my breath in the cool air. Early birds winged overhead in the blue sky. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Nothing so exciting here - a Wood Pigeon off to an important meeting, by the looks of it - fairly racing over the rooftops😺 #FirstBirdOfMyDay

The dulcet tones of a robin, singing its heart out on the phone line above the door, what a lovely thing to hear when you drag yourself out to head to work in the morning 😊 #firstbirdofmyday

Two noisy red wattle birds boisterously defending their foraging rights in the giant pink salvia which is currently flowering in the garden. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
