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.

What an epic shot! That background looks so good, it looks fake

That one was taken on an old Olympus E-300, one of the first micro four thirds dSLRs, and the colour profile on the photos it produced was just stunning.

As someone not from Australia, is that an old gum tree?

I don't think so, though I know birds a lot better than trees :)
