Where in the world does that come from? And that's a nicely timed photo!
Thanks! Couldn't really tell but I'm assuming some kind of leech or worm
Ah, I meant which country was it taken in - I'm from the UK, and I don't recognise the bird: most like one of our moorhens I supoose.
Ah I misunderstood. This photo was taken in Singapore, most of the pictures I have are from Asia and Australia.
White-breasted waterhens are found in South and Southeast Asia. They're part of the rail family, like moorhens as you mentioned. I agree this is a really interesting/exotic looking bird. Its long legs and overall proportions aren't like any birds I've seen in Canada
This made me chuckle :)
That is quite a neat bird there. Hadn't heard of it before.
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.
