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.

  1. 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.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. 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.

Trying out different ways to crosspost to Pixelfed and Lemmy, nothing really works as I hoped until now…

I hope you enjoy some simple shots of a robin in various poses :) I like how cloudy days let the colors pop

Good shots. I haven't seen a single robin since the snow rolled in here.

Thanks :) I was hoping to see a Kingfisher near that spot. I’m seeing many more birds than I expected with low temperatures and a bit of snow. I’m an absolute beginner and don’t really know behavior patterns of any animal I’m trying to photograph though

I'm pretty new to birding and photography myself. I hope you get that Kingfisher shot. Those European Kingfishers are so beautiful. We have belted Kingfishers here and they're beautiful too, but not as much as yours IMO.

That’s sweet! But yes I was really captured by that bright azure bird I spotted during a jog, it stand out like a gem in the grey, brown and cloudy winter surroundings. Every couple of days I check that spot with the camera in hand, didn’t meet it again. Wish me luck! :)
