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!
No yeah, achtung is german, the dutch "let op drempels" was already taken on reddit so i made it achtung, then transferred it over to lemmy. "Let op drempels" is one of, or maybe even the most known dutch phrase in germany, and i feel everybody also thinks it's a bit funny.
Glad the achtung shout out worked out and you live to post us some fantastic bird pictures :)
