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.

It had been a minute since I was last out. My chickadees were there for me not much else. I spotted two white-breasted nuthatches, a mourning dove, and a downy woodpecker, but they were too far away. I heard various crows also.

...at least I think! Heard nasally "eh-eh"s instead of that distinct "caw caw." Waiting for someone to drop their breakfast in the parking lot.

I was hoping for a better selection to pick from before heading off for a couple of weeks, but alas, the light was poor and the subjects I could spot few.
Chaffinches are in theory common in the UK, but seem distinctly uncommon in Prospect Park, so this was quite pleasing in that sense. Reading, UK, Canon R5 MkII + RF200-800
1/800s (too slow for birds, especially with this lens), ISO12800 (far to high for anything good), tells you about the light!

I edited this using Darktable instead of Lightroom Classic. Let me know what you think.

Too indecisive: I couldn't decide which pose of the right tit I liked most! But I needed to resize the photos anyway to make them postable to Lemmy, so, you get both!

Disappointing walk by the Thames today - too muddy, to windy, and the end of the path washed away so I had to turn back rather than complete the round walk, and, most importantly, not much in the way of interesting bird photographic opportunities. But the sun was catching this pair well enough, so that's what you get.

No dead trees here, just a male chaffinch looking for 🪱.
