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.

The wren cracks me up, how it dips in and out my flower pot. But kinda hard to take a snap of it.

I'm trying to challenge myself to take good birding pictures of birds in my nook of suburbia. This guy is napping in his favorite tree, getting a little sun.

Posted as much because I liked the decaying log as the magpie!
And I have no idea where the peanut came from - I didn't think there were any feeders in the park.

I shot this with my phone. The kestrel was calmly sitting next to a a few pigeons, until they realized it wasn't one of them (took them a while) and they flew away.

Osprey on a wet shingle roof tears into a fish with its beak. Looks so cool, so cool, so enviably cool.

This girl was screaming the whole way as she came in for landing, and she gave me a beautiful reflection as she did!
