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.
I finally saw a Common Firecrest from up close and even managed to take a photo! I was so excited to finally see one, such cute little birds! One of the smallest in Europe even. Their German name (Sommergoldhähnchen) is also great, it translates to “Summer Gold Chicken".
Great photo! I love the framing and how it's just sitting in front of that little shadow area behind it.
Thank you! :-) It was a very lucky shot, they're so fast, it's like they have ADHD and can't stay still! It sat there for maybe a second at most before it flew off again.
Good lord. That ---- is ---- stunning. Everything about that photo is beautiful.
