Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.
-
This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
-
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
-
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
-
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
-
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

I think it was just too hot for it to fly off the sort of distance they normally do, so I was able to get an OK shot, even if with blurred leaves.

Photo taken in Limay, Bataan, Philippines in Aug 2005. Let us walk right up and take a pic by the side of the road.

Nothing very special for Reading, but they were pretty much flying directly towards the sun, so giving a decent photo. And I adore photos of Red Kites, so you have to suffer another one too!

This is Chalkie (or perhaps son of Chalkie, as I last saw Chalkie a couple of years ago), a popular resident of this corner of Prospect Park, Reading, UK and a leucistic blackbird. I was out early to avoid the full sun, and so was he.

Shot I took in my backyard, on Vancouver island. This little Junco is a regular at the feeder.

Normally these guys are gliding too far up to get a decent shot, but today there was a group that deigned to fly a little lower than usual.

Took this pic mid June. We had a siege in the forest across the road here on Vancouver Island.
They had a couple broods.. the noise..

Once again, another lucky shot. Mad props to Sony's tracking AF.

Got this little guy on a weekend trip to Quadra Island, BC, a couple weeks ago.
Love this cheeky butt pic, but wish I'd gotten the eyes in focus!
