A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
Great Tit (Parus major)
Nikon D7200, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6
f/6.3, 1/500s, ISO 500, 500mm Cambridgeshire 2019
The largest Tit species found in the UK, its range covers almost the whole of the mainland, apart from the highest parts of the the Scottish highlands.
It can be a bit of a bully and I see it on our bird feeders pushing off other species including Starlings, which takes some doing!
It has a distinctive call that sounds very much like Teacher! Teacher!
That is an absolutely gorgeous picture, and the foreground/background focus is perfect. I'm not much of a birder (or a photographer!) but the pic drew me in from r/All (or whatever we call it on Lemmy now). Thank you for adding this bit of beauty and perfection to my day.
Thank you for your kind words. It is one of my favourite pictures and it means a lot that other people enjoy it too.
