This is a butterfly, it is #NotADuck. I think it is a painted lady, though I’d be happy to be corrected on that.

Don’t you love the way that Shovellers often look like they’re high? It’s one of the reasons they’re the best duck. #BestDuck #Duck #DuckOfTheDay #Shoveler #NorthernShoveler #SpatulaClypeata #BirdsSeenIn2026 #RSPBFrampton #Birding #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #NaturePhoto #NaturePhotography

Three duck Thursday but they aren’t ducks. Gulls are also awesome though. I think from the feathers and dark bill-tips that two of them are second summer, looking at the aging graphic in my Collins guide - I am not a gull expert by any means! #NotADuck #HerringGull #Larus Argentatus #BirdsSeenIn2026 #UrbanBirding #LowCarbonBirding #Birding #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #NaturePhoto #NaturePhotography

I’m just posting this photo of Black Winged Stilts at RSPB Frampton earlier today so that I can link to it when filling in the rarity form… #BlackWingedStilt #HimantopusHimantopus #RSPBFrampton #BirdsSeenIn2026 #UrbanBirding #LowCarbonBirding #Birding #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #NaturePhoto #NaturePhotography

What about #SeabirdSaturday? Gannets are awesome, even though they aren't ducks, and I even managed to get a not-totally-terrible photo of one in flight last Sunday! #NotADuck #Gannet #MorusBassanus #Seabird #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Birding #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #NaturePhoto #NaturePhotography
