@cthululemon@social.cthululemon.com According t the RSPB, there are somewhere between 3,800-6,400 breeding pairs here in the UK

@warrick_w@zirk.us thats ace. Hopefully I might get chance to see one here on a trip to Poole Harbour later this year…

@noodlemaz@med-mastodon.com that’s cool. We have a stream about 40m away, but this is the first one we have seen here.

@Ing_2016@twit.social The magpies here are far greedier than the pigeons, they come in fours and fives and being boisterous with each other squabbling over the food

@gsymon@mstdn.social I watched one episode, plan on watching the rest this week. I look out for the piece. Thanks for the heads up 🐦

@aosmith16@fosstodon.org yep, wish we had those here as well 😂

@hyperboreal@mastodon.world in my opinion, the prettiest of the UK’s woodland birds…

@albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz the water makes this photo I think, its like mercury. Glad you like it. 👍

@Rihilism@toot.community Thanks. I love its fluffy bottom feathers.

@felis_catus_domesticus@toot.io 😂

@PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works it’s cropped (100%). Was using my partners 2x tele making my lens 800mm. (usually I shoot at 560mm)

@khusky@shmg.online lol, yep once they clock you, off they scarper…

@scarfwitch@queer.garden we have just 3 woodpeckers, the green being the largest and most colourful. Our other two are the Greater Spotted and Lesser Spotted. Nice photo by the way! I wish we had more varieties of woodys here.

@lovely_Natur_und_Kultur there’s a nice uplift in Brambling there. I’ve never seen one here. I imagine our results will also see the House Sparrow as #1. The tree sparrow is quite high on your list, here in UK its numbers have diminished significantly. So will be nice to compare results after we run our counts next weekend… Thanks for sharing. 👍

@kolombiken@front-end.social I’ve no idea, they just do…

@lionelb@expressional.social because we have a Yellow Wagtail as well. The grey Wagtail has a grey upper and tail, where as the yellow looked like this

@outinthewilds yeah, it’s one of my fave birds. Did you know that after they have young, if one parent loses a chick, they help others in their community to feed their chicks. I think it’s that that make them do so well each year. Wonderful bird species.

@budgegeria @outinthewilds thay are also known as flying teaspoons…

@outinthewilds@mstdn.social great poem. Not seen that before. It’s true that they are almost constantly on the move, but when they perch, you get about a second to focus and take a shot.

@khitomershamster@social.seattle.wa.us it is just time, if you are out a lot like me you’ll learn where best to find certain birds. I have about 5 good reserves within 30 mins of my home so I have learned the best places to go and at what time of year. The end of the day, the more opportunities you give yourself the more change of getting shots…
