  • Downvotes bummed me out, not gonna lie. F.e. I was posting totally fine desire paths to the desire paths community, before it “blew up” because of some blahaj post, (now stuff gets quite a lot of upvotes there) but I always had people downvoting it.

    I don’t know, just a bummer to have zero interaction but downvotes coming in (although upvotes still outnumbered down votes then too). Pretty clear that it was from people not interested in desire paths, still, if you post into the void it sucks the fun out of it kinda, makes you wonder what you’re even doing.

    But less worse than some of the negativity snipers, who actually take time of their day to tell you that your post was not up to their standards but you never see them contribute anything positive to the niche.

    Yes, exactly. Thanks.

    I was just saying that it really was the first time that i observed a wren when it showed up in my flower pot 😆 It disappeared for 5 seconds in the depths of the pot, then it appeared and for half a second at some random spot, haha. So it was kinda tricky to take a snap of it.

    When i first saw it, it was sitting on top of the feeder. I saw a tit bump against my balcony door from the corner of my eye a couple minutes earlier and wondered why that had happened. Then i realized the sparrowhawk was there. It was then observing the feeder for probably three hours from a tree. The photo was taken after its second failed attempt, so yeah, i guess you’re right, haha.

    I did not see it in the following days, but the lil birds kinda stayed away from the feeder too for a while. Also have not seen the baby pigeons after their first flights, maybe it got lucky there.
